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 dos 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! 𝄇

El gran Carlomagno, mi padre,
me liberó de los árabes,
Y del cielo vida me dio
de Meritxell, la gran Madre.

Princesa nací y heredera
entre dos naciones, neutral;
soy la única hija que queda
del imperio Carlomagno.

Creyente y libre once siglos,
creyente y libre quiero ser.
¡Sean los fueros mis tutores

Le Grand Charlemagne mon père
nous délivra des arabes
et du ciel me donna la vie,
de Meritxell la grande Mère.

Je suis née princesse héritière
neutre entre deux nations;
je reste la seule fille
de l'empire Charlemagne.

Croyante et libre onze siècles,
croyante et libre je veux demeurer.
Que les fueros soient mes tuteurs
𝄆 et mes Princes mes défenseurs ! 𝄇

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 and heiress
between two nations, neutral;
I am the only remaining daughter
of the Carolingian Empire.

Faithful and free for eleven centuries,
Faithful and free I want to be.
May the laws be my tutors
𝄆 and my Princes defenders! 𝄇
