Listen to the anthem

Cantabria querida

te voy a cantar

la canción que mi pecho

te va a dedicar

que es muy grande mi amor

a la tierra en que nací.

Quiero que sus sones

puedan traspasar

las montañas más altas

y el inmenso mar,

como ofrenda leal

al terruño en que viví.

Y es mi cántico amoroso

cual arrullo maternal

en que todos veneramos

la Cantabria fraternal.

Y un recuerdo cariñoso

de pureza regional,

a La Montaña dedico

con vigor tradicional

vigor tradicional

vigor tradicional.

Mi tierruca siempre ha de ser

bella aurora del corazón

y a ella un beso puro de amor

y lleno de emoción

siempre he de ofrecer.

Hijos de mi Cantabria

nobles de mi querer,

hermanos montañeses

por siempre hemos de ser.

Juntos nos agrupemos

muy fuerte y muy leal

que la madre Cantabria

un abrazo nos da.

Dear Cantabria

I'll sing you

the song that my chest

will dedicate to you

since my love is so great

for the land where I was born.

I want its sounds

to cross over

the highest mountains

and the great sea,

as loyal offering

to the homeland where I lived.

And it is my loving song

like mother's lullaby

that we honor

brotherly Cantabria.

And a fond remembrance

of this unspoiled land

to The Mountain I dedicate

with the strength of tradition

strength of tradition

strength of tradition.

My homeland will always be

a beautiful glow in my heart

and a pure kiss of love

full of devotion

I have always to offer her.

Sons of my Cantabria

my dear gentlemen

Brothers of The Mountain

we will be forever.

We stand together

strong and loyal

as mother Cantabria

embraces us.
