Hymne Monégasque - Théophile Bellando de Castro

Greetings, to our neighbours!
Greetings, to all those who are watching us!
It is important that you remember the following:

Forever, the same flag flies happily in the wind over our country
Forever, the colours red and white are the symbols of our freedom
Old and young have always shown their respect.

We carry on the same traditions
We celebrate the same religion
We are honoured to have always had the same Princes
And no one will make us change
As long as the sun shines in the sky
God will help us
No one will ever be able to make us change
No one.

There are not many of us
But we are vigilant over our identity
We are not very powerful
But if God chooses, he will help us.

Greetings, to our neighbours!
Greetings, to all those who are watching us!
Everyone should be aware of this.

Théophile Bellando de Castro (1820 – 1903) Monaco
