Lyrics [edit]

El Gran Carlemany (Catalan)

El gran Carlemany, mon pare,

dels alarbs em deslliurà,

I del cel vida em donà,

de Meritxell, la gran Mare.

Princesa nasquí i Pubilla

entre dues nacions, neutral;

sols resto l'única filla,

de l'imperi Carlemany.

Creient i lliure onze segles,

creient i lliure vull ser.

Siguin els furs mos tutors

i mos Prínceps defensors!

I mos Prínceps defensors!

The Great Charlemagne (English translation)

The great Charlemagne, my Father,

liberated me from the Saracens,

And from heaven he gave me life,

from 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

A believer and free for eleven centuries,

a believer and free I want to be.

Be the laws of the land my tutors,

and my Princes my defenders!

And my Princes my defenders!
