I Maternal, centenaria y bravía luchadora en mestiza batalla guardan leyendas, los acordeones, del Valle del Cacique Upar. II En sus calles de estirpe española remembranzas de un pueblo que canta, con sus historias, sus esperanzas, oh señorial Valledupar. CHORUS ¡Oh Ciudad de los Santos Reyes! matriarchal grito soberano, tradiciones que te defienden orgullosa fue tu libertad. III Aborigen de casta muy valiente de una raza labriega hasta la piel, hoy nos quedan dos símbolos latentes, el Arhuaco y el Kogui, muestra fiel. IV Hacia el norte domina la sierra donde el alma del Valle se siente, un sol ardiente baña tus tierras, airoso el río Guatapurí. V En el campo tus hombres muy fuertes con sus brazos de amor y confianza es algo innato, labrando cantan, en busca de su porvenir. CHORUS ¡Oh Ciudad de los Santos Reyes! matriarchal grito soberano, tradiciones que te defienden orgullosa fue tu libertad. VI Nuestro suelo es emporio de riqueza es progreso, tenaz Valledupar entonemos un himno de esperanza que sea el grito del Valle del Cesar.

I Maternal, centennial and brave fighter in mixed battle keeping legends, the accordions, in the Valley of the Cacique Upar. II On its streets of Spanish class remembrances of the people that sing, with their stories, their hopes, oh lordly Valledupar. CHORUS ¡Oh City of the holy kings! matriarchal sovereign scream, traditions that defend you proud was your liberty. III Aborigines of brave cast of a working class to the skin, today two beating symbols are left, the Arhuaco and the Kogui, loyal proof. IV To the north the Sierra dominates where the valley's soul is felt, a brilliant sun showers your lands, overshadowing the Guatapuri river. V In your country your strong men with loving arms and confidence is something innate, laboring they sing, in search of their future. CHORUS ¡Oh City of the holy kings! matriarchal sovereign scream, traditions that defend you proud was your liberty. VI Our land is an emporium of wealth is progress, strong Valledupar let's sing the hymn of hope let that be the scream of the Valley of Cesar.
