Does anyone know the English lyrics to the song during the San Fermin festival in Pamplona?

The song is repeated three times prior to the running of the bulls in Pamplona Spain during the annual San Fermin Festival. I am also looking to find the spanish version to download online.

Does anyone know the English lyrics to the song during the San Fermin festival in Pamplona?
Spain is mainly a Catholic country and almost every town has its own saint patron. San Fermin a saint who is considered to be a defender of Pamplona, Navarra. Every morning, the runners pray for protection.





The prayer goes as follows:





A San Fermín pedimos We ask St. Fermin


por ser nuestro patrón since HE is our patron saint


nos guíe en el encierro let HIM guide us (during the running)


dándonos su bendición and give us HIS blessings


¡Viva San Fermín! Long life St. Fermin!


¡¡Viva!! Long life!


¡Gora San Fermín! Long life St. Fermin!


¡Gora!* Long life!





* Gora means Viva in Basque. Basque is the language spoken in the Basque Country. Most people in Navarra, because its geographical proximity, speak both Spanish and Basque.





Watch out for the bulls!
Reply:A San Fermin venimos por ser nuestro patrón, nos guie en el encierro dándonos su bendición, VIVA, GORA.





we are going to sf because it's our saint, he guide us in the "encierro" giving hes blessing.





I'm sorry about my english, I hope it's ok for you.
Reply:Would it be "Las Vacas del Pueblo?


Then there's the "Pobre de mí" sung on the day the fiestas end, but that is only sung once at the tail end when it is all over...


Edit your question and let me know if it is either of these and I'll try and find the full lyrics.
