Catalan:
El gran Carlemany, mon Pare dels alarbs em deslliurà , I del cel vida em donà de Meritxell, la gran Mare, Princesa nasquà i Pubilla entre dues nacions, neutral Sols resto lâúnica filla de lâimperi Carlemany. Creient i lliure onze segles, creient i lliure vull ser. Siguin els furs mos tutors i mos PrÃnceps defensors! I mos Princeps defensors!
English:
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!
