Lyrics: Enrique Pérez Valencia

Music: Angel Mottola Martucci

CHORUS
Yesterday you were powerful and haughty,
In the bloody and tenacious fight;
But now, country, you put on your olive;
and today your glory is founded on peace.

Yo
Illustrious homeland! your children remember
with pride the tragic fight:
It still seems that all around you can hear
the tremendous roar of the cannon!
The fearful test was so long,
that you poured blood in torrents,
and in the Homeric fight you grew,
straining the martial heart.

II
In the arms of distinguished warriors,
With Anzoátegui, Freites, Monagas,
you destroyed the warlike plagues
and you stood triumphant everywhere;
In the feral and glorious arena,
against Iberia with heroic persistence,
Yours was the last bizarre thing,
Yours was the final victory.

CHORUS
Come back faces! to the powerful cry,

And if yesterday to the voice of Bolívar,
The brave centaurs responded:
we will again gain more laurels
if a tyrant rises before us.

II
They are those of pride and glory
that we display on our flags
Mucuritas, Yagual, Las Queseras
and other fields of immortal fame.
And to the noble and heroic men
that from Apure illustrated the story
venerating his august memory,
We will beat the triumphant palm.

III
And today united with our brothers
from Orinoco to the top of the Ande,
to the peace that its fruits spread
will sustain our high value.
And having the laws as a rule
heard in our rights
your breasts will beat with contentment
to names, country and honor!

With powerful anger, the lion is proud.

 The color purple is the symbolization of the blood that our liberators shed on the field of the

signify the column that the Congress of Cúcuta ordered to be raised on this same pampa to
commemorate the triumph that patriotic weapons obtained there on June 24, 1821, a date
that will be inscribed on the pedestal of said column.
 In this lower quarter, on the right and left side, respectively, there is the figure of a sugar
cane plant and another coffee plant, in order to indicate the two major crops of the
Carabobo State.
 In the upper barracks a fortress surrounded by the sea and assaulted by cavalry and
infantry troops is represented, to commemorate the action of Puerto Cabello, carried out on
November 8, 1823.
 The two barracks are separated by a wide yellow strip, which bears the inscription "
OCCASUS SERVITUTIS ", to signify that with the triumph of Carabobo and the assault of
Puerto Cabello, the domination of Spain in Venezuela was extinguished. The Shield rests
on two intertwined cornucopias and at its upper end the rising sun appears, to symbolize
the birth of the Republic. The figures of the Shield carry natural colors.

of fraternal blood:
When your noble spirit

I called you to consecrate
the cult of peace.

Capital District Flag:

Characteristics

It presents the shield centered on a blood-red rectangular pavilion, which commemorates the
blood of the people of Caracas shed during the independence periods.

Shield
The shield was formally granted in 1591 and presents the lion as an emblematic figure of Caracas,
based on the Royal Decree of Felipe II , which granted it at the request of the Attorney General, in
the following terms: "In a silver field of a lion colored brown, standing, holding in his arms a gold
scallop with the Red Cross of Santiago, and as a bell a five-pointed gold crown". Through a Royal
Decree granted by Carlos III on March 13, 1766 , the Coat of Arms of Caracas was made official,
which would carry a border with a Latin inscription about the Virgin Mary as a noble gesture to the
city's shield, with the words: Hail Mary Most Holy, without sin conceived in the first instant of her
natural being . The original petition ( Blessed Hail Mary of the light conceived without sin ) sparked
a controversy over whether or not it should be placed on the border of the banner, which
concluded with the decision of the King, who suppressed the word Light , incorporating "In the
First Instant of his Natural Being".

Flag

The flag of the Falcón State was chosen through a contest opened by Governor José Curiel in
1997. 114 proposals were presented to the jury, with the one designed by Marielys Oduber being
selected.
The Falcón state flag was raised for the first time with the corresponding honors on June 17, 1997,
in the central patio of the Regional Executive.

Characteristics

The flag has a rectangular shape formed by three horizontal stripes, equal and joined together, in
order of green, yellow and blue colors.
  The green color of the upper strip represents the Falconian mountain range with its natural
reserves: soil, water, forest, minerals and landscapes. Green is synonymous with hope,
friendship, respect and service.
 The yellow color of the central strip represents the Medanos. Natural Park, of great tourist
importance, located in the state. Yellow is a symbol of greatness, nobility, wealth, power,
light, perseverance and wisdom.
 The blue color of the lower strip reproduces the image of the immense Falconian coast of
important marine, tourist and economic wealth for the state. The color blue is synonymous
with justice, loyalty, charity, and beauty.
 The figure of the falcon located in the center of the flag represents the strength, wisdom
and nobility that characterized the first settlers of this land. The word Falcón that the State
carries and which was taken from the surname of the regional hero Juan Crisóstomo
Falcón, derives from the word Halcón, a bird that symbolizes the qualities inherited from the
Caquetío ancestors.
 The 25 white five-pointed stars, each in the shape of a semicircle, represent the 25
autonomous municipalities that make up the Falconian geography. The stars are an image
of happiness and a sign of strength, light, majesty and peace. Its white color is synonymous
with purity, firmness, integrity, vigilance and eloquence.
 Towards the lower part of the falcon, between the colors Yellow and Blue, there is a red
band that contains the legend "God and Federation." Red is synonymous with strength,
victory and boldness and highness.

Shield

The official coat of arms of the Falcón State was created by decree of the Constitutional President
of the Falcón state, General Pedro Linares, on June 10, 1850.

Originally, the shield of the territory that now belongs to Falcón used the shield of Coro, the capital
city. That shield, because the city was dedicated to Saint Anne, showed her in a first coat of arms
accompanied by the Virgin Mary. The shield had the erroneous founding date of 1530, when in
reality it had been founded in 1527.

This shield was changed in 1815 for one where Saint Ana again appeared next to a chair, and in
1821 it was replaced once again following the patriotic triumph of the Battle of Carabobo. This last
modification was in force until 1863 when the federal shield was imposed, which with certain
modifications is the one used today.
Characteristics
It is divided into three quarters with the colors Red, Blue and Yellow.

 The red upper barracks recalls the colonial era of the state. This barracks contains the
figures of two gold-yellow enamel chairs, with a command staff each. The baton on the right
chair symbolizes that Coro was the first capital of Venezuela; while the staff or crozier on
the left is an emblem that this city was also where the first colonial bishop sat. In short, this
barracks symbolizes civil power and ecclesiastical power.
 The red color and gold of the figures that appear in this upper barracks represent,
allegorically, the indigenous blood that the Spanish and German conquerors made flow on
American soil in their desire to discover El Dorado.
 The middle or central barracks has the following figures:
o A brig of silver enamel, under full sail, on a calm sea like the one that on good days
is barely rippled by the soft breath of the breeze coming from land. The colors of the
flag created by Francisco de Miranda fly above the ship's mast.
o Towards the left, in front of the bow of the sailboat, rise in the foreground, a series of
dunes or dunes characteristic of the Falconian coast and, in the second, a small
mountain range behind which a golden sun is rising, like to give a feeling of light to
those who arrive.
o This allegory symbolizes hope with the arrival of Francisco de Miranda to the Corian
coasts in August 1806, where for the first time on the Venezuelan mainland the
tricolor flag waved under the rising sun of American freedom.
 The lower yellow stripe contains the following figures:
o A silver eagle perched on a peak ready to fly towards a purest and crystalline sky,
which in its beak holds a golden band with the inscription "God and federation." From
between the naked sword that the eagle wields and the summit where it perches,
another gold-colored band emerges to the left side and upwards that contains the
date: February 20, 1859. The eagle of this barracks symbolizes freedom, which
walks in triumph through the radiant sky of immortality, with the shining federal
sword.
 The exterior figures of the Shield are the following:
o Crowning the regional banner shine, in the shape of an arch, 13 golden stars that
represent each of the Districts that made up the state before becoming autonomous
municipalities, which today number 25.
o On the right side of the shield the figure of a segment or bouquet of cactus pears
represents the arid zone of the state.
o On the left side there is the figure of a coffee bouquet, which symbolizes the fertility
of the Falconian mountain range.
o On the tricolor ribbon that links the cactus and coffee bouquets, at the lower end of
the shield, the following immortal dates are read:
o In the center, July 5, 1811, the day the declaration of independence was signed.
o On the far right, March 24, 1854, the date that President José Gregorio Monagas
abolished slavery in Venezuela.
o On the far left, August 18, 1863, evoking the famous Decree of Guarantees, which is
the highest summit on which the greatness of federalism in Venezuela stands out.

CHORUS
War caused injustice,
Their colossi created equality
And it exploded, disrupting the earth
From the anger of the people the volcano.

Yo
The legion of brave warriors,
Of the magnanimous Caudillo in pursuit,
He rescued the privileges of the Homeland
With their weapons anointed by God.

He struck down the hostile phalanxes,
That rooted kingly principles
And he worked with bloody burins
On bronze tables, the law.

Completed the sacred harmony
From the fruitful work Falcón:
Contrary to the guarantee
And to the helpless enemy, forgiveness.

That at the forefront of the Homeric struggle
He fought with Spartan bravery,
like a single giant champion.

Initially, the sketch designed by the Caracas artist Ely Alexi Romero Álvarez and in the document
dated February 25, 1980 signed by the Regional Executive and the Qualifying Jury, according to
Decree No. 138 dated November 24, 1970. The flag of this Venezuelan state has four horizontal
stripes of the same dimensions with the colors:

 Blue: It symbolizes our sky always in love with the prodigal land crossed by rivers, lagoons,
dams, pipes and morichales.
  White: Represents the purity of the llanero's soul, open to hospitality and extending his
helping hand.
 Yellow: Represents the agricultural wealth of the Guárico State, loved by the human wealth
of those who work to put to use the resources that nature has so graciously offered us.
 Green: It is the color that our entire geography dresses with the arrival of winter, an
inseparable companion of the Guariqueño farmer.

In the center is the image of the State map. Within the map, there is the image of Los Morros de
San Juan (Arístides Rojas National Monument), close to the capital city of Guárico, and below, a
head of beef representing the livestock wealth of the Guárico State. On both sides of the beef
head, two branches of rice and sorghum appear. 14 stars surround the map on both sides,
representing the municipalities. Then a new star was added to represent the 15 municipalities of
the state.

Shield

The coat of arms of the Guárico State was created by Decree of General David Gimón, who was
President of said state, on February 8, 1912 . Its description is as follows:

Its field is divided into two horizontal barracks; In the upper one, the plain is represented, with two
palm trees in the background and the image of a llanero on horseback, rope in hand and in the
attitude of throwing a lasso, who is chasing two bulls that are fleeing. The lower quarter represents
the Guárico River running between sugar cane and banana plantations. A Phrygian cap , emblem
of freedom, crowns the central point of the upper part and placed at the end of a short pike,
wielded by one hand and at each end of this upper part, a national flag and a horned spear
appear. To the right and left of the Shield, respectively, are represented an olive branch and
another laurel branch tied at its base by a ribbon that displays the colors of the Venezuelan Flag,
which has the motto “If you love freedom, come to my pampas.” ”.

Flag of Merida:
The official flag of the state of Mérida in Venezuela is made up of three triangles of three colors:
emerald green, sky blue and white with a red star in the center. The significance of the colors is
attributed to the representation of the purity and snow of the peaks of the Cordillera de Mérida in
white, green represents the mountains and agriculture, while blue corresponds to the sky and a
part of Lake Maracaibo ; The red star represents Mérida as one of the seven provinces
contemplated in the act of independence and its color represents the blood of the patriots who
managed to make Mérida one of those provinces.

Shield

The Coat of Arms of the State of Mérida has a design based on the Coat of Arms of Venezuela.
In its heraldic composition, it is crowned by the Condor of the Andes with its wings extended in an
attitude of taking flight. Above the head a star symbolizes the Province of Mérida, one of the seven
that joined the emancipation movement.

On the right and left sides there are a laurel branch and a coffee branch. At the bottom and
supporting the shield, the branches are tied with a silver ribbon with the following inscriptions: in
the center, "Mérida State"; on the left, "October 9, 1558", date of the founding of Mérida; and to
the right, September 16, 1810, beginning of the Independence of Venezuela.
Below the condor, above the ribbon and between the branches, a shield is divided into three
horizontal quarters:

 The upper one, yellow in color, carries two crossed swords that symbolize the defeat of the
Tyrant Aguirre by the Spanish founders of the City of Mérida. In the center of this same
barracks, a cannon and a mast with its sails remind us of the continuous pirate attacks on
the Port of Gibraltar. On the right, an arrow and a crossed rifle and a Phrygian cap
represent the rebellion of the Comuneros in 1781 and the Battle of Niquitao won by Ribas
Dávila and his army of Merideños in 1813.
 The central field shows a Merida landscape of snow-capped ridges, the depression of Lake
Maracaibo and a river towards the plains. A white horse crosses the field symbolizing
freedom.
 The lower field, in red, has a bundle of wheat ears and another of sugar cane to symbolize
the agricultural wealth of the state. In the middle of the beams, a closed book and a lamp
represent the intellectual tradition of Merida and the creation of the University.

Music: Jesús Alvarado

Lyrics: Fernando E. Delgado Lozano

CHORUS
Praise to the people that the cruel vassalage
he fought the Iberian lion,
punishing the vile outrages
He offered his life to the country.

Yo
To the far end
of the vast plain
your bravery amazes,
Your courage and your courage.
It turns out, noble and loyal,
fighting until death,
you prefer to succumb
haughty and with honor.

II
Spoiled for glory
conducive to fortune,
you were from Páez the cradle,
from Unda, from Castejón,
heroes who in the fight
with great feats
they erased the vileness
of the yoke and oppression.

III
In your fertile soil
the generous blood
was spilled copiously
with courage and loyalty.
Araure proclaims it
the nameless battalion
he acquires renown there.

venerated and which is the coat of arms of the city and the State, and where the 1 On

Anthem

CHORUS
Several centuries of life in history
Steep before the sea of Colón,
with the regal and perennial Avila
guarding its egregious coat of arms.
He was named by Don Diego de Osorio,
His cousin splendor was aboriginal,
and today La Guayra is a magnificent emporium
of events, progress and brilliance

Yo
Advanced thinking from Europe
His dungeons came to illuminate,
and the minds of Gual and Spain
Picornell managed to captivate.
And La Guayra gave the pioneering cry
What rebel asked for dignity,

II
It is the birthplace of two Presidents
That they give luster and honor to the country,
José Vargas, of splendid glory,
And Soublette that is justice and courage,
The first is a beacon of science,
Magisterium, civility and fervor;
The second, of honest validity,
He fought with fervor for his country.

III
Today it is a port of pulsating action
Where the colonial flavor still vibrates,
And it is the pride of its inhabitants
Passionately defend morality.
Your future is a bright one,
Of the Country it will be a triumphant milestone,
And a State named after Vargas
And La Guayra its faithful capital.

Flag of Yaracuy:

Symbology

Red : Symbolizes the indomitable spirit of our Jirahara Indians, who fought with iron will against
the Spanish invasion and that of the heroes of Cerrito Cocorote who after many struggles
achieved the autonomy of Yaracuy from the Province of Barquisimeto.
Blue : Together with red and yellow, it symbolizes collective respect for our National Flag. At the
same time it symbolizes the water resources available to the region.
White : Symbolizes the helpful spirit that has always characterized the Yaracuyana region and its
people.

Yellow, blue and green (circle ): Sun, sky and earth come together to exalt the extraordinary

world.

the cradle of great artists.

Shield:
The Coat of arms of the Yaracuy state was designed by Dr. Pablo Emilio Ávila and whose heraldic
legend was written by Br. Trinidad Figueira. The shield is divided diagonally into 2 quarters: the
upper one shows a bunch of ears, an emblem of union and abundance; The rake, the sickle that
accompany it, and the pointed peaks on both sides of the star, represent work, the source of all
prosperity. In the lower one you can see a fortress that represents the Castle of San Felipe, today
called Libertador, built with the impulse of cocoa, to protect Puerto Cabello and the Bocas del
Yaracuy from illicit trade at the time of Spanish domination.

It also means the integrity with which the population of the Cerritos de Cocorote sustained their
aspirations in the centuries-old struggle to achieve the title of city, given in Seville, through a fair
process by King Felipe V, on November 6, 1729, from whom the A new town built by the residents
of said Cerritos de Cocorote took the name, establishing Felipe the Apostle as its spiritual patron
(San Felipe, current capital of the State).

The cane and cocoa branches that go to the sides, tied by a ribbon, which demonstrates the
sovereignty of the State, speak of the main crops that give it its own life. The star that crowns the
shield is the sun of freedom, which guided the men of Yaracuya who in "triumphs arrived where
the sun had its temples"

Anthem

Music: Abdón Ramírez

Lyrics: Pedro Maria Sosa

CHORUS
High fame proclaims
my glorious traditions
the opulence of my area
the virtue of my men.

Yo
Invading Spain dominated
my extensive and rich regions
insatiably filling their coffers
with the vital sap of my flora.
The superb crenellated castle
that is displayed in Puerto Cabello
It was built with stolen gold
to my fertile, opulent zone.
II
Cruelty reaches this point
that my people with a manly voice
on the glorious date of April
enthusiastic cry: freedom
I did not want to abide by the regency
and firm with patriotic determination
that act in which the people of Avila
I proudly exclaim: independence.

III
Of Bolívar the shining star,
Boldly my children followed.
And my sacred powers were
in that bloody epic;
chasing the bold Spaniard,
my warriors arrived in triumph
to Peru that they also liberated
where the sun had its temples.

IV
Progress, splendid beacon,
with its magical light it illuminates
the seed of good that germinates
in my beautiful tropical garden;
elements I contain, neat,
honor and prez of my noble existence;
in peace, in war, in science,
because my children culminate in everything.

V
While the river waters my valleys
"Yaracuy" that his name has given me,
of the federal union will be a state
and my people will have their will;
and if fatal fate forced me
of the country not to raise the flag
let my haughty race perish
like my immortal tribe jira jara.

double symbolism: first it represents the castles and towers (in Zapara and San Carlos) that
defended the entrance to the Lake; and second, it indicates the strength, the firmness with which
105 Zulians fought to maintain their rights; The lightning over the red barracks also has several
connotations: it is the Catatumbo lightning, a regional phenomenon of great singularity and which
is one of our symbols; It is also like a ray of light, the great attachment of the Zulians to the
creations of culture, art and intellect; Finally, the nine lines that form the lightning bolt are
indicative of the nine districts that previously formed the State politically and administratively.

and the fertility of the Zulia land, and by a palm, which symbolizes the glory of our heroes in
the feat of independence.

 The color of the barracks, yellow, blue and red, is a tribute to the national flag, and signals
the Venezuelan will of the Zulians.
 On the ribbon that knots the banana and palm or coconut leaves, at the foot of the shield,
two dates appear: August 24, 1499, the day Alonso de Ojeda arrived at the Lake on behalf
of Spain; and January 28, 1821, the date on which the Province of Maracaibo (today the
State of Zulia) decided to become independent from Spain and become part of Greater
Colombia.
 The official measurements of the shield are: fifty centimeters long by thirty centimeters
wide.
