This is a patriotic Panamanian song that commemorates the protests of 9 January (celebrated as Martyrs' Day). On that day, Panamanian students declared Panamanian sovereignty over the Panama Canal by raising the Panamanian flag there (In the picture), but the American police in the Canal Zone - known as ‘Zonians’ - prevented the students from entering and ended up tearing down the Panamanian flag in the area, sparking outrage. The protests turned into riots and the Zonians, in response, massacred more than two dozen Panamanians.

The massacre was a crucial moment for advancing the cause of Panamanian sovereignty over the Canal, since Panama broke off diplomatic relations with the United States after the incident and promised to re-establish them only if a new treaty was signed. This treaty would be led by the revolutionary Omar Torrijos in 1977, who signed two treaties with US president Jimmy Carter to recover the Canal for Panama (the song also celebrates this).

"Every square mile of the canal and adjacent areas will remain under the control of Panama.

Our country's sovereignty and independence are not negotiable."

- President of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, responding to Donald Trump's threats about the Panama Canal.

▪︎ Lyrics:

Iremos de frente al clamor de la Patria:
Que Estados Unidos nos firme el tratado.
Los pueblos aclaman al Líder Torrijos
Por gira triunfante en pro del Canal.

¿Colonia americana? ¡No!
¡Es nuestro el Canal!
¡No somos, ni seremos,
De ninguna otra nación!

Yanquis armados mancharon la Patria
Con sangre del pueblo el nueve de enero;
La gesta gloriosa de los que murieron
Izando banderas nos da la razón.

¿Colonia americana? ¡No!
¡Es nuestro el Canal!
¡No somos, ni seremos,
De ninguna otra nación!

Yanquis armados mancharon la Patria
Con sangre del pueblo el nueve de enero;
La gesta gloriosa de los que murieron
Izando banderas nos da la razón.

¿Colonia americana? ¡No!
¡Es nuestro el Canal!
¡No somos, ni seremos,
De ninguna otra nación!
