- Anthem Lyrics
El gran Carlemany 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 lú nica filla de l'imperi Carlemany. Creient i lluire onze segles, creient i lliure vull ser. ¡Siguin els furs mos tutors i mos Prínceps defensors! I mos Princeps defensors!
- Anthem Lyrics English
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!
