Quisqueyanos valientes, alcemos
Nuestro canto con viva emoción,
Y del mundo a la faz ostentemos
Nuestro invicto glorioso pendón.
~¡Salve el pueblo que
intrépido y fuerte,A la guerra a morir se
lanzóCuando en bélico reto
de muerteSus cadenas de
esclavo rompió.
Ningún pueblo ser libre mereceSi es esclavo indolente y servil;Si en su pecho la llama no creceQue templó el heroísmo viril. ~Mas Quisqueya la indómita y bravaSiempre altiva la frente alzará:Que si fuere mil veces esclavaOtras tantas ser libre sabrá.
National Anthem
