Chants to San Fermin
奔牛颂歌
The bull run has a particularly emotional prelude. It is when the runners, just a few metres up the slope from the corral where the bulls are waiting, raise their rolled newspapers and chant to an image of San Fermin placed in a small recess in the wall in the Cuesta de Santo Domingo. Against the strongest of silences, the following words can be heard: "A San Fermin pedimos, por ser nuestro patron, nos guie en el encierro dandonos su bendicion." (We ask San Fermin, being our patron saint, to guide us in the bull run and give us his blessing). When they finish they shout "Viva San Fermin!, Gora San Fermin." This chant is sung three times before 8am first, then when there are five minutes to go before 8am, then three minutes and one minute before the gate of the corral is opened.
在奔牛比赛开始之前，有一些列的准备活动。在奔牛者们站在离牛栏就几米的街口，挥舞着手中卷成筒状的报纸，对着镶嵌在墙里的守护守护神纳瓦拉唱颂歌，片刻沉默以后，可以听到响亮的唱词“我们向纳瓦拉祈祷，请为我们守护，请为我们的奔牛节指路，并为我们祝福。”完了以后大喊“Viva San Fermin!, Gora San Fermin.”这个颂歌在8点以前会唱三遍，然后开始倒计时，直到打开牛栏。
