Canto a Los Guanches
Aitiden Guanche
Song To The Guanches
It was up to the Guanches, with courage
To defend almost a century
With rudimentary weapons
Against the bronze and against the iron of the French
The fortunate islands, which later
The Spanish will plunder
The Fortunate Islands
Some poet called them
Some poet
Some poet called them
Without imagining how sad
Her fate would be
Without imagining how sad
Her fate would be
The Fortunate Islands
Some poet called them
This is how
The Canarian folias are sung
Giving meaning to each word
Popular couplets, verses to the homeland
The lament is still heard
In the valleys and mountains
In the valleys
In the valleys and mountains
Of the Guanche who gave his life
Before serving Spain
Of the Guanche who gave his life
Before serving Spain
The lament is still heard
In the valleys and mountains
