Lyrics in Spanish Language
Chorus
Gloria al pueblo mil veces altivo
que ha sabido la historia ilustrar;
indomable, pujante en la guerra,
y a la ley respetuosa en la paz.
I
Cuando el grito sublime de Patria
en el mundo vibró de Colón,
al sonar el clarín de los libres,
que a sus hijos llamaba, escuchó.
II
Procedidos del Dios de Colombia
sus guerreros al campo lanzó
y con Lara, Jiménez y Torres,
hizo trizas el yugo español.
III
Pueblo noble, que sabe ser grande
cuando así lo reclama el honor.
Quiera el cielo que siempre sus hijos
rindan culto ferviente a la unión.
IV
Que Pomona le brinde sus dones,
paz y dicha la diaria labor,
Y que el faro triunfal del progreso
Ilumine su vasta región.

Why this record matters
“Lara State Anthem” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Lara, State and Anthem provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6488596. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1910, 1911 and 1996.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
