Venezuela: Land of Grace
At the threshold of your history
Christopher Columbus exclaimed
Land of grace
Land of paradise
Infinite land
Like gold being refined
Amid the tyrannical tribulation
Your nobility exalts you
And the grace of your character
Raises you up to the battle
It does not matter that this tyrant
Treat you with mortal hand
From the empyrean the Supreme God
Gives you the strength to fight
Let the vile oppressor
Tremble with dread
Among the nations you are not orphaned
You are not the despised
But the land of grace
The most prized
Of Latin American lands
Let pride run though
your native veins
Don't let infamous despotism
take your life away
Glory to the brave people!

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem in Spanish, then I thought it would be a good idea to translate in English. Here's the English version in honor of Venezuela.

Sadly I know little of Venezuela and nothing of their National Anthem but this is certainly worthy of being adopted as such. great piece of work RR.
Thank you for reading my poem and commenting.
I wrote it in Spanish first. The Spanish version is more flowing. Thank you for reading it and commenting.
This is a beautiful poem, and I am sure the Spanish version was even better. Something always gets lost in translation.
