"La bandera blanca y verde" (pronounced [la βanˈdeɾa ˈβlaŋkaj ˈβeɾðe]; "The Green and White Flag") is the official anthem of Andalusia, an autonomous community of Spain, adopted under the first Andalusian Statute of Autonomy.[1] The lyrics were written by Blas Infante. The music for the anthem of Andalusia was composed by the former director of the municipal band of Sevilla, José del Castillo Díaz. The origins of the music are vaguely inspired on the Santo Dios, a religious cantic widely spread in rural Andalusia, usually sung by peasants while reaping their crops. It is believed that Blas Infante suggested the music to José del Castillo. The melody of the anthem is Castillo's original though. After the Spanish Civil War, the original music scores were destroyed, and only a manuscript for piano is conserved. The composer Manuel Castillo improved José del Castillo's version.[2]

Lyrics

Spanish original[3]

I
La bandera blanca y verde
vuelve, tras siglos de guerra,
a decir paz y esperanza,
bajo el sol de nuestra tierra.

Coro:
¡Andaluces, levantaos!
¡Pedid tierra y libertad!
¡Sea por Andalucía libre,
España y la Humanidad!

II
Los andaluces queremos
volver a ser lo que fuimos
hombres de luz, que a los hombres,
alma de hombres les dimos.

Coro

English translation

I
The Green and White Flag
After centuries of war returneth.
Of peace and hope it soweth
Under our land's sunshine.

Chorus:
Arise, o Andalusians!
Demand land and freedom!
For a free Andalusia,
Spain and Mankind!

II
We Andalusians shall become
Once again what we were:
Enlightened folk who gave
Human soul to mankind.
