Anthem Lyrics
Valiant soldiers
of the Engineers' Weapon.
Let's sing to the Fatherland
with strong faith and love
Up our motto
Loyalty and courage !!
The Holy King Fernando
guides us and protects us
Castillo, with trophies
oak and laurel
gives us strength and glory
We will triumph with him.
With strength, loyalty and courage,
Glory to Spain, the Army and the Weapon.
The Engineers, we will give with ardor.
Preparing the ground,
giving way and link,
or assaulting the breach
discipline and union:
with ingenuity and dexterity
let's fulfill the mission
In peace, war, day or night
Let us work tenaciously
and let's take up arms
beating the best
self-denying, courageous,
by tradition and honor.
With strength, loyalty and courage
Glory to Spain, the Army and the Weapon
the Engineers, we will give with ardor.
