liberated me from the
Saracens,
and from heaven he gave me life
of Meritxell, the great Mother.
I was born a princess and heiress
between two nations, neutral;
I am the only remaining daughter
of the
Carolingian Empire.
Faithful and free for eleven centuries,
Faithful and free I want to be.
May the laws be my tutors
