The Anthem of the Canaries, also known as "Lullaby", is the official anthem of the Canary Islands of Spain. The music was composed by Teobaldo Power, and the lyrics were written by timple player Benito Cabrera. The anthem was officially adapted as the community's anthem and incorporated as such on 30 May 2003.

Soy la sombra de un almendro, |
Сой ла сомбра де ун алмендро, |
Σοι λα σόμβρα δε ουν αλμένδρο, |
English translation[]
I am the shadow of an almond tree,
I am volcano, saltpetre and lava.
Distributed in eight rocks
The pulse of my soul beats.
I am the history and the future,
Heart that lights up the dawn
Of some islands that awaken
Navigating hope.
Fighters in nobility
Fight the honourable soil
Of freedom...
This is the beloved land:
My Canary Islands.
As a single being
Together they will dream
A rumour of peace
Over the wide sea.
