THE EMBARKATION, A Hymn To Ferdinand Magellan's Fleet (El Embarque: Himno A La Flota de Magallanes, 1875)

The poem describes the embarkation of Ferdinand Magellan's fleet as they set sail from Barrameda to conquer unknown lands. The sun was shining as activities reigned on the shores where the caravels would depart with their sails swelling. The Spanish people proudly greeted the soldiers and brave warriors going to conquer unknown worlds with their swords. They bid farewell to the loved ones and brave soldiers of the homeland as the fleet moved away gently with the wind, blessed by the people's pious voices for their glorious, heroic action and carrying Magellan's standard on the way to the seas with madly roaring hurricanes.

THE EMBARKATION, a hymn to Ferdinand Magellan’s fleet (El Embarque: Himno


a la Flota de Magallanes, 1875)

One beautiful day when in East


The sun had gaily brightened,
At Barrameda with rejoicing great
Activities everywhere reigned.

‘Tis cause on the shores the caravels


Would part with their sails a-swelling;
And noble warriors with their swords
To conquer unknown world are going.

And all is glee and all is joy,


All is valor in the city.
Everywhere the husky sounds of drums
Are resounding with majesty.

With big echoes thousands of salvos


Makes at the ships a roaring cannon
And the Spanish people proudly greet
The soldiers with affection.

Farewell! They say to them, loved ones,


Brave soldiers of the homeland;
With glories gird our mother Spain,
In the campaign in the unknown land!

As they move away to the gentle breath


Of the cool wind with emotion,
They all bless with a pious voice
So glorious, heroic action.
And finally, the people salute
The standard of Magellan
That he carries on the way to the seas
Where madly roars the hurricane.
