Lyrics

Spanish lyrics

Coro
Entonemos un himno a tu cielo,
a tu tierra y tu puro vivir,
blanca estrella que alumbra en los Andes
ancha senda que va al porvenir
I
Tres guerreros abrieron tus ojos
a una espada, a una cruz y a un pendón.
Desde entonces no hay miedo en tus lindes,
ni codicia en tu gran corazón.
II
Hirió el hondo diamante un agosto,
el cordaje de un nuevo laúd,
y hoy se escucha el fluir melodioso
en los himnos de la juventud.
III
Fértil madre de altiva progenie
que sonríe ante el vano oropel,
siempre atento a la luz del mañana
y al pasado y su luz siempre fiel.
IV
La Sabana es un cielo caído,
una alfombra tendida a tus pies
y del mundo variado que animas
eres brazo y cerebro a la vez.
V
Sobreviven de un reino dorado,
de un imperio sin puestas de sol,
en ti un templo, un escudo, una reja,
un retablo, una pila, un farol.
VI
Al gran Caldas, que escruta los astros
y a Bolívar, que torna a nacer;
a Nariño, accionando la imprenta,
como en los sueños los vuelves a ver.
VII
Caros, Cuervos y Pombos y Silcas,
tantos hombres de fama inmortal,
que en el hilo sin fin de la historia
les dio vida tu amor maternal.
VIII
Flor de razas, compendio y corona,
en la patria no hay otra ni habrá.
Nuestra voz la repiten los siglos:
¡Bogotá... Bogotá... Bogotá!.
