Chorus:
 Granada has fallen! Granada has fallen!
 The triumph of Spain has atoned for her loss.
 Granada has fallen; the sign of the Crescent
 Has bowed in the end to the sign of the Cross.
 Granada has fallen. Our Queen Isabella
 Has entered Granada with pennons and drums.
 The Old Age was iron; the New Age is golden;
 The Gold Age is coming - oh see where it comes!
 Granada has fallen. The long days of torment
 And bloodshed are over; the battle is done
 And we are the victors. Granada has fallen
 And Spain's resurrection today has begun.
