  11. National Anthem Quisqueyanos valientes, alcemos Nuestro canto con viva emoción, Y del mundo a la faz ostentemos Nuestro invicto glorioso pendón. ~ ¡Salve el pueblo que intrépido y fuerte, A la guerra a morir se lanzó Cuando en bélico reto de muerte Sus cadenas de esclavo rompió. Ningún pueblo ser libre merece Si es esclavo indolente y servil; Si en su pecho la llama no crece Que templó el heroísmo viril. ~ Mas Quisqueya la indómita y brava Siempre altiva la frente alzará: Que si fuere mil veces esclava Otras tantas ser libre sabrá. -Emilio Prud’Homme-
