Argentina National Anthem

National Anthem

Spanish lyrics


English translation
Oíd, mortales, el grito sagrado:

"¡Libertad, libertad, libertad!"
Oíd el ruido de rotas cadenas,
ved en trono a la noble igualdad.

Ya su trono dignísimo abrieron
las Provincias Unidas del Sud
y los libres del mundo responden:
"Al gran pueblo argentino, ¡Salud!"
"Al gran pueblo argentino, ¡Salud!"
Y los libres del mundo responden:
"Al gran pueblo argentino, ¡Salud!"
Y los libres del mundo responden:
"Al gran pueblo argentino, ¡Salud!"

Hear, mortals, the sacred cry:

"Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!"
Hear the noise of broken chains,
see the noble Equality enthroned.

Their most honorable throne have opened
the United Provinces of the South.
And the free ones of the world reply:
"To the Argentine people, Hail!"
"To the Argentine people, Hail!"
And the free ones of the world reply:
"To the Argentine people, Hail!"
And the free ones of the world reply:
"To the Argentine people, Hail!"

Estribillo

Sean eternos los laureles
que supimos conseguir,
que supimos conseguir.
Coronados de gloria vivamos...
¡o juremos con gloria morir!,
¡o juremos con gloria morir!,
¡o juremos con gloria morir!

Chorus

May the laurels be eternal
the ones we managed to win,
the ones we managed to win.
Let us live crowned in glory...
or let us swear in glory to die!
Or let us swear in glory to die!
Or let us swear in glory to die!
