Marcha de Los Cóndores

March of the Condors

Marcha de Los Cóndores

In the luminous landEn la tierra luminosa
Of the Andes and the Sun, and the SunDe Los Andes y del Sol, y del Sol
Among the glorious raceDe entre la raza gloriosa
Of the ancient splendor, splendorDel antiguo resplandor, resplandor

Rises joyfullySe levanta jubilosa
All filled with illusion, with illusionToda llena de ilusión, de ilusión
The great victorious houseLa gran casa victoriosa
Radiating light and love, light and loveIrradiando luz y amor, luz y amor

It is the redeeming schoolEs la escuela redentora
That beats intenselyQue palpita intensamente
Without resentment in the heartSin rencores el corazón

It is the well-doing houseEs la casa bien hechora
That sweetly accomplishesQue realiza dulcemente
Laboriously its high missionLaboriosa su alta misión

And this condor is a nestY este cóndor es un nido
Of young eagles a home, a homeDe aguiluchos un hogar, un hogar
Above the suspended lakeSobre el lago suspendido
Where they will look high, look highDo bien alto mirarán, mirarán

Nearby the proud IllampuCerca el Illampu erguido
Far away it must dominate, dominateLejos ha de dominar, dominar
And wounded by any shadowY de cualquier sombra herido
Its power will triumph, will triumphSu potencia triunfará, triunfará

It is the school of the raceEs la escuela de la raza
Of drive that does not falterDe empuje que no se abate
And its ardor has no rivalY su ardor no tiene rival

And in the passing existenceY en la existencia que pasa
Like a great womb that beatsCual magna entraña que late
It will have a very colossal pulseTendrá un pulso bien colosal
