Viva la Guerra! That is Spain’s cry; This our reply: Viva la Guerra!

Saber clash saber! Scath visit scath! Wrath answer wrath! Saber clash saber.

Army front army! People or crown, Which shall go down? Army face army.

Navy meet navy, Strong versus strong; Right against wrong; Navy dares navy.

Cannon to cannon, Powder and ball! God over all! Cannon to cannon.

Viva la Guerra! Mars against Thor! Beautiful War! Viva la Guerra!
