Himno Nacional Clandestino

Let's swear to die with gloryO juremos con gloria morir
The united provinces of the South!Las provincias unidas del Sud!
Crowned with glory, let's liveCoronados de gloria vivamos
Let's swear to die with gloryO juremos con gloria morir

The face of the earth risesSe levanta la faz de la tierra
A new and glorious nationUna nueva y gloriosa nacion
Crowned with laurels on its browCoronada su sien de laureles
And a lion at its feetY a su planta rendido un leon

The faces of the new championsDe los nuevos campeones los rostros
Mars himself comes to animateMarte mismo paraca animar
Greatness nestles in their chestsLa grandeza se anida en sus pechos
They make everything tremble as they marchA su marcha todo hacen temblar

The Inca's tombs trembleSe conmueven del inca sus tumbas
And in their bones the ardor revivesY en sus huesos revive el ardor
Renewing what gives splendorLo que ve renovando a sus hijos
To the ancient homelandDe la patria el antiguo esplendor

But mountains and walls feelPero sierras y muros se sienten
Resound with horrible clamorRetumbar con horrible fragor
The country is shaken by criesEl pais se conturba por gritos
Of vengeance, war, and furyDe venganza, de guerra y furor

Let's swear to die with gloryO juremos con gloria morir
The united provinces of the South!Las provincias unidas del Sud!
Crowned with glory, let's liveCoronados de gloria vivamos
Let's swear to die with gloryO juremos con gloria morir

Envy spat its poisonous bileEn los fieros tiranos la envidia
On the fierce tyrantsEscupió su pestífera hiel
They raise their bloody bannerSu estandarte sangriento levantan
Provoking the cruelest battleProvocando a la lid más cruel

Don't you see over Mexico and Quito¡No lo véis sobre Méjico y Quito
Throwing themselves with relentless maliceArrojarse con saña tenaz
And how they cry bathed in bloodY cuál lloran bañados en sangre
Potosi, Cochabamba, and La Paz!Potosí, Cochabamba y la Paz!

Don't you see over sad Caracas¡No lo vés sobre el triste Caracas
Spreading mourning, tears, and death!Luto y llantos y muerte esparcir!
Don't you see devouring like beasts¡No lo véis devorando cual fieras
Every people they manage to subdue!Todo pueblo que logran rendir!

To you, Argentines, the vile invaderA vosotros se atreve ¡Argentinos!
Dares to challenge your prideEl orgullo del vil invasor
He already treads on your fieldsVuestros campos ya pisa contando
Counting so many glories to trample victoriouslyTantas glorias hollar vencedor

To uphold their happy freedomSu feliz libertad sostener
Will know how to oppose those bloodthirsty tigersA esos tigres sedientos de sangre
With strong heartsFuertes pechos sabrán oponer

The brave Argentine to armsEl valiente argentino a las armas
Runs burning with vigor and valorCorre ardiendo con brío y valor
The war bugle like thunderEl clarín de la guerra cual trueno
Resounded in the Southern fieldsEn los campos del Sur resonó

Buenos Aires takes the leadBuenos Aires se pone a la frente
Of the Union's peoplesDe los pueblos de la Unión
And with robust arms they tear apartY con brazos robustos desgarran
The haughty Iberian LionAl ibérico altivo León

San Jose, San Lorenzo, SuipachaSan José, San Lorenzo, Suipacha
Both Stones, Salta and TucumanAmbas Piedras, Salta y Tucumán

They are eternal signs that saySon letreros eternos que dicen
Here the Argentine arm triumphedAquí el brazo argentino triunfó
Here the fierce oppressor of the homelandAquí el fiero opresor de la Patria
Bowed his proud neckSu cerviz orgullosa dobló

Victory covered the Argentine warriorLa victoria al guerrero argentino
With its shining wingsCon sus alas brillantes cubrió
And the tyrant, terrified at the sightY azorado a su vista el tirano
Fled in infamyCon infamia a la fuga se dio

His flags, his weapons surrenderSus banderas, sus armas se rinden
As trophies to LibertyPor trofeos a la Libertad
And on wings of glory the people raiseY sobre alas de gloria alza el pueblo
A worthy throne to their great majestyTrono digno a su gran majestad

From one pole to the other resoundsDesde un polo hasta el otro resuena
The resounding trumpet of fameDe la fama el sonoro clarín
And teaching America's nameY de América el nombre enseñando
It repeats to them: Mortals! HearLes repite: ¡Mortales! Oid

Oh, let's swear to die with gloryOh juremos con gloria morir
The united provinces of the South!Las provincias unidas del Sud!
Crowned with glory, let's liveCoronados de gloria vivamos
