Keep the public silence (twice)
and our word listen (twice)
Of order of Mr. Pelayo
after measuring the water,
presiding the God Neptune
the acts of this Olympic,
with the <<girlfriend>>, The newts,
the tube, the centaurs and Pialla,
again is authorized, in Arriondas,
the career of canoes.
And when we give the living
that the regulation sends us,
they answer all to chorus,
they make hoarse the throats,
that is festival of every Asturias
the festival of the canoes.
But if some has close,
a girl good-looking,
That it do not lose sight of neither
to stop watching it;
and, if really likes,
comience already to court it,
because is tradition that in Llovio,
to the final of this day,
when of the seven exactly the stirs echo,
to the girls that it wanted and they be left,
Mr. Pelayo gives permission
to be able to embrace them.
And if then, walking the time,
we go to the priest and marries us,
with the boyss that we have
we will come to the Canoes
with the necklaces of flowers
and the hats plywoods,
that there is not happier festival,
neither more scene and gallant,
neither with more beautiful landscape,
neither Asturian essence.
You sing it with all the soul,
that echo in all the valley,
ˇAsturias Patria Querida!
The hymn of the Canoes.
You sing it with all the soul,
that echo in all the valley,
ˇAsturias Patria Querida!
The hymn of the Canoes.
the Festival of the Canoes.
