Lyrics
Thy lofty mountain ranges Secure thy fertile plains The people in thy dwellings Extol thy golden grains
May Pulangi River ever flow May abundance in thy rich soil grow May thy verdant fields sustain The Mortals of thy land
Thy unwave'ring hope Enduring through the night Breaking a new dawn Rising strong with time
Thriving and progressing Booming never ceasing Onward go, Valencia City! Joyful, valiant, free!
Thy culture shall be safeguarded Nature's wealth, protected People's faiths, respected And thy liberty, defended
Deep passion, allegiance and honor We pledge unto thee Our City of Golden Harvest Arise, thou art our pride!
May the God of love Enfold Valencia City Now and Eternally!
