Fiesta San Fermin Running of the Bulls Pamplona Navarra Spain. “Viva San Fermín!, Gora San Fermín!”
El Encierro July 13, 2009.
Invocation to San Fermin:
Just minutes before the run (7:55am), local runners sing an invocation to San Fermin, the patron of the run. They sing three times: “A San Fermín pedimos (We ask of San Fermin)/ por ser nuestro patrón (for he is our patron)/ nos guíe en el encierro (to guide us in the Bull Run)/ dándonos su bendición (giving us his blessing)”. They end by shouting “Viva San Fermín!, Gora San Fermín!” (Long live San Fermin! — First in Spanish, then in Basque)
