The "Hymn to the Mountain" is the official anthem of Cantabria, an autonomous community in the north of Spain. The music was composed by Cantabrian composer Juan Guerrero Urresti in 1926, who also wrote the lyrics, and José del Río Sainz has made arrangements to the composition.[1][2]

English translation[]
Dear Cantabria,
of thee I'll sing
the song that my chest
to thee will bring
since my love so great
for the land I was born.
I want her sounds
to pass over
the highest mounts
and o'er the great sea,
as loyal offering
to the homeland where I lived.
And 'tis my loving song
like a mother's lullaby
that we honour
fraternal Cantabria.
And a fond remembrance
of this land so pristine
to the Mountain I devote
with the strength of tradition,
𝄆 the strength of tradition. 𝄇
𝄆 My homeland will always be
in my heart a beautiful gleam
and a pure kiss of love
full of fervor
there's always for me to offer. 𝄇
Sons of my Cantabria
my dear gentlemen
Brothers of the Mountain
we will be forever.
Together we stand
strong and loyal
as mother Cantabria
embraces us.
