ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The great Charlemagne, my Father, liberated me
from the Saracens,
And from heaven he gave me life of Meritxell
the great Mother.
I was born a Princess, a Maiden neutral
between two nations.
I am the only remaining daughter of the Carolingian empire
Believing and free for eleven centuries, believing
and free I will be.
The laws of the land be my tutors, and my defender Princes!
And Princes my defender!
