¡Viva viernes! (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)
La fecha es el veintiocho (28) de febrero del año dos mil veinticinco. (The date is February 28, 2025.)
In honor of Andalusia Day, let’s listen to Spanish singer Pablo Alborán’s interpretation of el Himno de Andalucía (The Hymn of Andalusia) performed at a gala in Seville today.
“La bandera blanca y verde vuelve, tras siglos de guerra, a decir paz y esperanza, bajo el sol de nuestra tierra.” (The white and green flag returns, after centuries of war, to tell peace and hope under the sun of our land).
“¡Andaluces, levantaos!” (Andalusians, get up!).
“¡Pedid tierra y libertad!” (Ask for land and liberty!).
“¡Sea por Andalucía libre, España y la Humanidad!” (May it be for a free Andalusia, Spain, and Humanity).
“Los andaluces queremos volver a ser lo que fuimos” (Andalusians want to return to what we were),
“Hombres de luz que a los hombres, alma de hombres les dimos” (Men of light who to men gave the soul of men).
¡Cantemos! (Let’s sing!) Sing along to la letra (the lyrics).
¡Que tengas un viernes vigilante! (May you have a watchful Friday!)
