Galicia! (Continued) pg. 66




God gives you happiness[1] in work aplenty
When you embrace us to your hearts
[And] make a place for our
                                                Tears, cold and hunger!

March of the Youth

My brother, when the happy hour arrives
And we form brotherly ranks
And rush like a stream down the peaks through the forest
When the tide fills its banks
                May [our] hearts start beating, may the blood boil in them
                And new and beautiful may our song flow
Let us curse long life in that song, our passion will be
Desire for deeds, and into the past[2] with power, storm[3]
Ardor, the dream of their charm and spell
And of fortune for all without measure
                May [our] hearts start beating, and thus further[4]
                Because this song is above songs, a song of life, a song of dreams
                A song of the sincere rapture of youth


[1] Or, “Good fortune”
[2] i.e., forget about
[3] Literally “winds”
[4] Or, “etcetera”
