Does anybody out there know what are the words to the national anthem of Ecuador? We were listening to the radio and at a certain time, the national anthem or it's equivalent started playing. It is very hard to understand and we were just wondering what is says and what it means. It sounds like it is very old and quite unlike the local music. Sort of like opera but more like a march. We never heard it again and was just wondering what we were hearing. Spanish words would be fine, however a translation into English would be even better if at all possible. Thank you for your time. I have no idea what category this falls into
