Columbus Has Taken Possession:
Introduction & Fantasy
(text taken from the journal of Christopher Columbus)

A la primera que yo falle
puse nombre San Salvador.
A la segunda puse nombre
La Isla de Santa Maria de Conception
A la tercera, Fernandia.
Y asi a cada un nombre nuevo.
De ellas he tomado posesion.
De ellas he tomado posesion.
De ellas he tomado posesion.

Translation:

The first one I found I named "San Salvador."
To the second one I gave the name "La Isla de Santa Maria de Conception."
To the third, "Fernandia."
And in this manner, I gave each a new new name.
Of these, I have taken possession.
Of these, I have taken possession.
Of these, I have taken possession.
