    HYMN OF THE CUNDINAMARCA TABLE

    1. At the imposing summit of the Andes


    Under a tropical sun sky,
    The thriving town rises
    From the friendly and cordial table.
    Beautiful land of history and legend
    From Juan Diaz the ancestral man,
    Noble gentleman who for the sake of his inheritance
    He continues to wander in the winter fog.

    It refers to the geographical position of La Mesa in the eastern mountain range, at 1200 meters. average
    above sea level. The motto “friendly and cordial”, coined by a mayor, has identified the municipality for
    many years. The last part of the stanza refers to the legend of the fog that suddenly appears when the ghost
    Juan Díaz leaves the Pedro Palo lagoon and comes to the market in the square.

    CHORUS (Repeated after each stanza)

    AS A LIGHTHOUSE OF THE GREAT TEQUENDAMA


    THAT ILLUMINATES PROGRESS AND PEACE,
    WHERE HEROES AND WISE MEN OF FAME,
    THEY REACHED IMMORTAL GLORY.

    - It emphasizes the geographical position and importance of La Mesa as the capital of the province of
    Tequendama. In addition, the heroism of its warriors and martyrs and the beginning of the Botanical
    expedition in its territory-

    2. 2. Noble cradle of warrior panches


    And of the hero Francisco Julián,
    That they offered their blood and their life
    To his people for freedom.
    Its wealth of fertile flora
    Mutis came one day to study
    And with wise men of profound science,
    He began his triumphant work.

    It refers to the Indians who had some influence in the territory before
    The conquest, the child martyr shot in La Mesa during the Spanish reconquest in 1816 and the visit of José
    Celestino Mutis and his collaborators to La Mesa for two months, to begin the great work of the Botanical
    Expedition in 1783.

    3. From their sugarcane and cattle fields,


    Rivers of milk and honey flow
    And cornfields of golden grains,
    That give their support to the Table.
    On its flanks from viewpoints,
    Majestic landscapes are seen;
    Fruit and flower coffee plantations,
    They look like the Garden of Eden.
    The Mesa of the 20th century was a great agricultural pantry for Cundinamarca and Bogotá, with rich areas
    for the cultivation of grain, corn, sugar cane, fruit, coffee and livestock. This is confirmed by the four
    stations of the Girardot railway within its geographical area, where the various products that left its territory
    daily were loaded. The privileged landscape from the various viewpoints that flank the plateau are part of
    the charm of Mesuna.

    CHOIR

    4. When the sun declines in the afternoons,


    Between ranges of intense redness,
    Illuminates the mesuna land
    With its shades of magic and color,
    A gentle breeze perfumes the environment
    With aromas of fields in bloom
    And between clouds the moon that appears
    He floods her nights with love.

    This stanza inspired the hymn of La Mesa. Summer sunsets with the sun setting over the valley of the
    snow-capped mountains in the central mountain range are a majestic spectacle of colors, temperature
    changes and smells brought by the breeze after sunset. Also, if it is a full moon, the sunset at one end
    coincides with the moonrise at the other at 6:00 PM. That's just magical.

    5. Great men and beautiful women,


    They exalt our region;
    With effort and perseverance they have given it
    To the table prestige and honor.
    Your future is already secured,
    Because their sons are men of action
    That his people and his people have been brought
    Well-being, development and unity.

    It exalts the beauty of the Mesuna woman, the importance of her leaders for the development and
    projection of La Mesa and the faith in the promising future of our people and our region.
