Granada has fallen! Granada has fallen!
The triumph of Spain has atoned for her loss
Granada has fallen; the sign of the Crescent
Has bowed in the end to the sign of the Cross
Granada has fallen. Our Queen Isabella
Has entered Granada with pennons and drums
The Old Age was iron; the New Age is golden;
The Gold Age is coming - oh see where it comes!
Granada has fallen. The long days of torment
And bloodshed are over; the battle is done
And we are the victors. Granada has fallen
And Spain's resurrection today has begun
