Gibraltar retains as its official anthem God Save the Queen in common with the other British Overseas Territories. However, it also has its own local anthem which was chosen in a competition in 1994. Both the lyrics and music were composed by Peter Emberley, who is not a Gibraltarian.
It is played every year at the conclusion of the political rally for Gibraltar National Day, 10 September.
[edit] Lyrics
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar the rock on which I stand,
- May you be forever free, Gibraltar, my own land.
- Mighty pillar, rock of splendour, guardian of the sea,
- Port of hope in times of need, rich in history.
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand,
- May you be forever free, Gibraltar my own land.
- God give grace to this our homeland, help us to live as one,
- Strong in freedom, truth and justice, let this be our song:
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar, the rock on which I stand,
- May you be forever free – Gibraltar! Gibraltar! My own land!
[edit] In Spanish
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar el peñón donde yo me encuentro,
- Que siempre seas libre, Gibraltar, mi tierra propia.
- Pilar poderoso, peñón de esplendor, guardiana del mar,
- Puerto de la esperanza en tiempos de necesidad, rica en historia.
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar el peñón donde yo me encuentro,
- Que siempre seas libre, Gibraltar, mi tierra propia.
- Dios da gracia a esta nuestra patria, ayúdanos a vivir como una,
- Fuerte en la libertad, la verdad y la justicia, permite que esta sea nuestra canción:
- Gibraltar, Gibraltar el peñón donde yo me encuentro,
- Que siempre seas libre, ¡Gibraltar! ¡Gibraltar! Mi tierra propia.
