National Anthem of Cuba - La Bayamesa

«El Himno de Bayamo» (English: «The Bayamo Anthem», lit. 'The Hymn of Bayamo»') is the national anthem of Cuba. It was first performed in 1868, during the Battle of Bayamo [es]. Perucho Figueredo, who took part in the battle, wrote and composed the song. The melody, also called «La Bayamesa» (English: «The Bayamo Song»), was composed by Figueredo in 1867. Spanish Lyrics: ¡Al combate, corred, bayameses!, Que la patria os contempla orgullosa; No temáis una muerte gloriosa, Que morir por la patria es vivir. En cadenas vivir es vivir En afrenta y oprobio sumido. Del clarín escuchad el sonido: ¡A las armas, valientes, corred! English Lyrics: To combat, run, Bayamesans! For the homeland looks proudly upon you; Do not fear a glorious death, For to die for the homeland is to live. To live in chains is to live Mired in shame and disgrace. Hear the sound of the bugle: To arms, brave ones, run! The clips in this video belong to respectful and rightful owners.
