¡Dios te salve, Macarena,
madre de los sevillanos, paz y vida!
¡La vida que alivia toda pena,
la que cura con sus manos toda herida!

¡Dios te salve, luz del cielo,
siempre estrella y siempre aurora de bonanza!
¡La que ampara todo anhelo;
la divina sembradora de esperanza!

¡Dios te salve, María, 
Madre de gracia llena;
alma de Andalucía, 
sol de la Macarena!
