by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Lira cordial de plata refulgente
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Lira cordial de plata refulgente, 
de duro acento y nervio desatado, 
voces y frondas de la España ardiente 
con tus manos de amor has dibujado. 

En nuestra propria sangre está la fuente 
que tu razón y sueños ha brotado. 
Álgebra limpia de serena frente. 
Disciplina y pasión de lo soñado. 

Ocho provincias de la Andalucía, 
olivo al aire y a la mar los remos, 
cantan, Manuel de Falla, tu alegría. 

Con el laurel y flores que ponemos 
amigos de tu casa en este día, 
pura amistad sencilla te ofrecemos.
