LETRA DEL HIMNO ANTIOQUEÑO Coro. Oh! Libertad que perfumas las montañas de mi tierra deja que aspiren mis hijos tus olorosas esencias. Nací sobre una montaña mi dulce madre me cuenta, que el sol alumbró mi cuna, sobre una pelada sierra. Nací libre como el viento de las selvas antioqueñas como el cóndor de los Andes que de monte en monte vuela. Pichón de águila que nace sobre el pico de una peña siempre le gustan las cumbres donde los vientos refrescan.
Amo el sol porque anda libre sobre la azula esfera al huracán porque silba, con libertad en las selvas. El hacha que mis mayores me dejaron por herencia la quiero porque a sus golpes libres acentos resuenan. Forjen, déspotas, tiranos largas y duras cadenas para el esclavo que humilde sus pies de rodillas besan. Yo que nací altivo y libre sobre una sierra antioqueña, llevo el hierro entre las manos porque en el cuello me pesa.”
