National Anthem

Mortals ! Hear the sacred cry ;
Freedom ! Freedom ! Freedom !
Hear the noise of broken chains.
See noble Equality enthroned.
The United Provinces of the South
Have now displayed their worthy throne.
And the free peoples of the world reply ;
We salute the great people of Argentina !

(repeat)

And the free peoples of the world reply ;
We salute the great people of Argentina !
(repeat previous two lines)

CHORUS

May the laurels be eternal
That we knew how to win.
Let us live crowned with glory,
Or swear to die gloriously.

(repeat three times)

¡ Oid mortales ! el grito sagrado:
¡ Libertad, Libertad, Libertad !
Oid 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 !

Y los libres del mundo responden :
¡ Al Gran Pueblo Argentino Salud !

(repeat previous two lines)

CHORUS :

Sean eternos los laureles
Que supimos conseguir.
Coronados de gloria vivamos
O juremos con gloria morir.
