Lyrics
| Spanish lyrics | English translation |
- Ya se ve, Patria mía, en tu oriente
- Nuevo sol esparcir claridad;
- Ya podemos con voz reverente
- Pronunciar: Dios, Unión, Libertad.
- Cambiarán ya tu vida y tu suerte
- Un solo hombre tus hijos serán;
- Ya entre ellos no habrá guerra o muerte
- Y dichosos tu bien labrarán.
- Ya podrás alcanzar pura gloria,
- De tus próceres sueño tenaz;
- Y el laurel de tu espléndida historia
- Será signo de triunfos de paz.
- Salve, Patria, tu hermosa bandera
- Luce al viento del cielo el color;
- A su sombra juramos doquiera
- A vencer o morir por tu honor.
| - In your orient, it can be seen, my Fatherland,
- A new sun that spreads a shining light;
- We can now with a reverent voice
- Proclaim: God, Union, Liberty.
- Your life and fortune shall change
- All of your children shall be as one;
- There shall not be war nor death amongst them
- And in happiness their prosperity they’ll forge.
- May you reach pure glory,
- Of your heroes’ tenacious dream;
- And let the laurels of your splendid history
- Be a sign of triumphs of peace.
- Hail, your beautiful flag, O Fatherland
- It flies in the winds as the color of your sky;
- And under your shadow we solemnly swear
- To prevail or die for your honor.
