Arrorró
English: Anthem of the Canaries
Regional anthem of  Canary Islands, Spain
LyricsBenito Cabrera
MusicTeobaldo Power
Adopted28 April 2003

The Himno de las Canarias ("Anthem of the Canaries"), or the Arrorró, is the official anthem of the Canary Islands, Spain. The song was composed by Teobaldo Power. It was adapted as the community's anthem and incorporated as such on 30 May 2003.

History

The anthem became official with Law 20/2003 of 28 April 28 2003. The Law begins with the following paragraph contained in the General Provisions: "Let it be known to all citizens that the Parliament of the Canary Islands has approved and I, on behalf of the King and in accordance with what is established in article 12.8 of the Statute of Autonomy, promulgated and ordered the publication of Law 20/2003, of 28 April, of the Anthem of the Canary Islands."[1]

Until the implementation of the current anthem, a variation of the Arrorró from the Cantos Canarios by Teobaldo Power, there was an unofficial anthem (ONU) that was used in many functions and with which the Pasodoble Islas Canarias festivities were concluded.[2]

There is also an Himno a Canarias ("Hymn to the Canary Islands"), with lyrics by the Tenerife poet Fernando García Ramos and music by the Gran Canaria composer Juan José Falcón Sanabria,[3] commissioned by the first president of the autonomous community, socialist Jerónimo Saavedra.

After a debate in the Parliament of the Canary Islands, and with the contribution of new lyrics by Canarian musician Benito Cabrera to the Arrorró by Teobaldo Power, the official anthem of the Canary Islands was embodied in the aforementioned Law 20/2003.[1]

Lyrics

Spanish[1][4] English translation

Soy la sombra de un almendro,
Soy volcán, salitre y lava.
Repartido en siete peñas
Late el pulso de mi alma.
Soy la historia y el futuro,
Corazón que alumbra el alba
De unas islas que amanecen
Navegando la esperanza.
Luchadoras en nobleza
Bregan el terrero limpio
De la libertad...
Esta es la tierra amada:
Mis Islas Canarias.
Como un solo ser
Juntas soñarán
Un rumor de paz
Sobre el ancho mar.

I am the shadow of an almond tree,
I am volcano, saltpetre and lava.
Distributed in seven rocks
the pulse of my soul beats.
I am the history and the future,
heart that lights up the dawn
of some islands that see the dawn of
navigating hope.
Female fighters in nobility
they 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.
