Apure State Anthem
The anthem of the Apure State, Venezuela was written by Amadeo Garbi. The music was composed by Cesar Ramirez Gomez. The anthem is titled as Vuelvan Caras! (Turn your faces!), as it was stated by a decree in 1978. Although it was composed in 1910, the regional government adopted it as the official anthem three years later.
Lyrics in Spanish Language
ChorusVuelvan caras! al grito potente, que el poder colonial sucumbio!y que en las pampas extensas de Apure se oye el eco vibrar de esta voz.
I Como el aguila cruza el espaciosin que nadie detenga su vuelo,cruza libre el llanero este suelo que su lanza y valor liberto.y si ayer a la voz de Bolivar, respondieron los bravos centauros: ceniremos de nuevo mas laurossi se alzare tirano ante nos.
II Son los de orgullo y de gloria que ostentamos en nuestras banderasMucuritas, Yagual, Las Queserasy otros campos de fama inmortal.Y a los noble y heroicos varones que de Apure ilustraron la historia venerando su augusta memoria, batiremos la palma triunfal.
III And today in union with our brothersfrom the Orinoco to the top of the Ande, to the peace that their fruits expandwill substain our haughty courage. and having laws as norms heard in our rightswill beat content our chests to the names homeland and honor!
Lyrics in English Language
ChorusTurn around! to the potent shout, that the colonial power succumbed!and that in the vast plains of Apure it is heard the vibration of this voice's echo.
I As the eagle crosses the spacewithout anyone stopping its flight,the plainsman crosses freely this soil that his spear and courage liberated.and if yesterday to Bolivar's voice, the brave centaures responded: we will wear again more laurelsif a tyrant would rise against us.
II They are those of pride and glory that we flaunt on our flagsMucuritas, Yagual, Las Queserasand other fields of immortal fame.and to the heroic and noble males that from Apure illustrated history venerating their august memory, we will flap the triumphal palm.
III Y hoy unidos con nuestros hermanos de Orinoco a la cima del Ande, a la paz que sus frutos expandensostendra nuestro altivo valor. Y teniendo por norma las leyes escuchados en nuestros derechoslatiran de contento los pechos a los nombres, patria y honor!
