We salute you in this national unity. We salute you, with many good wishes in the national tongue, Bowing the head in respect to the national symbol. We salute the flag that has such might; It falls into the sphere of victory, fortune and success With its green and red and white together, and therefore we salute it. 2. To those heroes who sought out honour and pride for the nation We give salute today in auspicious verses of remembrance. May the nation of the Maldivian Islanders advance under guard and protection And the name of the Maldivian Islanders become great. Thus we pledge as we salute. 3. We wish for their freedom and progress in this world And for their freedom from sorrows, and thus we salute. With full respect and heartfelt blessing towards religion and our tus hijos Bajo el yugo su cuello dobleguen, Tus campias con sangre se rieguen, Sobre sangre se estampe su pie. Y tus templos, palacios y torres Se derrumben con horrido estruendo, Y sus ruinas existan diciendo: De mil h*roes la patria aqu fue. CORO IV Patria! patria! Tus hijos te juran Exhalar en tus aras su aliento, Si el clarn con su blico acento Los convoca a lidiar con valor. Para ti las guirnaldas de oliva! Un recuerdo para ellos de gloria! Un laurel para ti de victoria! Un sepulcro para ellos de honor! CORO Mexicanos, al grito de guerra El acero aprestad y el bridon, y retiemble en sus centros la tierra Al sonoro rugir del caon.
