Sabadell is a city near Barcelona, in Catalonia (Spain nowadays). The piece is sung in catalan in a version written by the catalan poet Joan Maragall in the 19th. century: "Joia, que ets dels déus guspira generada dalt del cel, vent de foc el pit respira sota els plecs del teu sant vel. Si ajuntar-se els cors demanen, que un mal vent va separant, tots els homes s'agermanen on tes ales van tocant. Si fortuna generosa ens ha dat un bon company, oh companya graciosa cantarem amb més afany!"

Well done! ausgezeichnet! buenissimo! and bravo! stratect
Our forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their scared honor to give us a Republic with Liberty and Freedom and Benjamin Franklin upon leaving the signing of the Constitution said "we have given you a Republic, if you can keep it." Can we keep it? Are we going to stand by and let the government we elected take away our Freedom and Liberties? FREEDOM MUST BE DEFENDED, NOW IS THE TIME and WE ARE THAT GENERATION!!! Semper Fi
