its Al combate corred bayameses Row Row Row Your Boat
que la patria os comtempla orgullosa Gently down the stream.
no temais una muerte gloriosa Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily
que morir por la patria es vivir Life is but a dream
En cadenas vivir es morir Row Row Row Your Boat
en afrenta y oprobio sumidos Gently Down The Stream
del clarin escuchad el sonido Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily
a las armas valientes corred. Life Is But A Dream
Italics = Different dialect.
Hasten to battle, men of Bayamo,
For the homeland looks proudly to you.
You do not fear a glorious death,
Because to die for the country is to live.
To live in chains
Is to live in dishonour and ignominy.
Hear the clarion call,
Hasten, brave ones, to battle!
