Lyrics
Short version:| Spanish original | English translation | IPA transcription |
Si el traidor a la lid nos provoca ¡Arma al hombro a vencer o morir! Que el rehusar si el clarín nos convoca Es afrenta en el mundo vivir. | If the traitor causes us to fight Weapon in shoulder to win or die! That to refuse if the bugle summons us Is a disgrace in the living world. | |
Cuna ilustre de Chávez y Arteaga, Que a la patria mil héroes le das, Ciudad bella, hermosísima maga, Dios te otorgue el progreso y la paz. | Illustrious cradle of Chávez and Arteaga, That the country you give a thousand heroes, Beautiful city, beautiful sorceress, God grant you peace and progress. | |
Nunca el sol de los libres su rayo Niegue airado a tu bóveda azul, Ese sol esplendente de Mayo Que a tu gloria ha prestado su luz. | Never the free rays of the sun Angrily deny your blue dome, That shining sun of May That to your glory has provided light. | |
Él alumbre tu senda de flores, Él ¡oh Patria! Otros triunfos te dé, Y no logren los ciegos traidores Nunca, nunca su luz obtener. | He illuminates your path with flowers He, oh Fatherland! Other triumphs gives to you, And the blind traitors fail Never, ever get its light. |
