JIMÉNEZ BRANDON: Music Teachers' Day

Hymn of gratitude to Master

Letter: Pablo Vela Hanníbal

Music: Enrique Espín Yépez

Chorus

Gratitude to Master, enlightening

our life and full of stars;

Homeland gratitude that in them,

see another sky, in the words of light.

Gratitude of the Fatherland, who knows

what the Master suffers and toils,

against the young, the voice of the morning;

with the child, innocence and virtue.

Children all, love your classrooms,

Teacher lesson and example;

because in them there is also a temple,

the country built in his honor.

Gratitude: Soul Flower! Perfume,

that chest embalmed life;

nothing can ingrate who forgets,

who opened the windows to the sun.

Alone

Oh Master you are in the Chair

from your lips want the aurora;

your word is the light that emerges

and dawns in the summits of good!

Nobody wants laurels of glory,

if chest mud missing

noblest and highest greatness:

Gratitude who made a laurel.
