CORO
- Saludemos la patria orgullosos
- De hijos suyos podernos llamar
- Y juremos la vida animosos,
- Sin descanso a su bien consagrar. (2x, last word 3x)
PRIMERA ESTROFA
- De la paz en la dicha suprema,
- Siempre noble soñó El Salvador;
- Fue obtenerla su eterno problema,
- Conservarla es su gloria mayor.
- Y con fe inquebrantable el camino
- Del progreso se afana en seguir
- Por llenar su grandioso destino,
- Conquistarse un feliz porvenir.
- Le protege una férrea barrera
- Contra el choque de ruin deslealtad,
- Desde el día que en su alta bandera
- Con su sangre escribió: ¡LIBERTAD!
- Escribió: ¡LIBERTAD! (3x)
CORO (Repita)
SEGUNDA ESTROFA
- Libertad es su dogma, es su guía
- Que mil veces logró defender;
- Y otras tantas, de audaz tiranía
- Rechazar el odioso poder.
- Dolorosa y sangrienta es su historia,
- Pero excelsa y brillante a la vez;
- Manantial de legítima gloria,
- Gran lección de espartana altivez.
- No desmaya en su innata bravura,
- En cada hombre hay un héroe inmortal
- Que sabrá mantenerse a la altura
- De su antiguo valor proverbial.
CORO (Repita)
TERCERA ESTROFA
- Todos son abnegados, y fieles
- Al prestigio del bélico ardor
- Con que siempre segaron laureles
- De la patria salvando el honor.
- Respetar los derechos extraños
- Y apoyarse en la recta razón
- Es para ella, sin torpes amaños
- Su invariable, más firme ambición.
- Y en seguir esta línea se aferra
- Dedicando su esfuerzo tenaz,
- En hacer cruda guerra a la guerra:
- Su ventura se encuentra en la paz.

CHORUS
- Let us salute, the Motherland,
- proud to be called its children,
- And let us spiritedly swear our lives
- to consecrate its good without rest! (2x,)
FIRST VERSE
- Of the peace in the supreme happiness
- Ever noble El Salvador dreamed
- To achieve this has been Her eternal proposition,
- To keep it, Her greatest glory.
- And with unwavering faith, the path of progress
- She strives to follow, to follow
- To fulfil Her greatest destiny
- And conquer a happy future.
- A stern barrier protects Her
- Against the clash of vile disloyalty,
- Ever since the day when Her soaring Flag,
- Wrote "LIBERTY!" with Its blood.
- Wrote LIBERTY.(3x)
CHORUS (Repeat)
SECOND VERSE
- Freedom is Her dogma and Her guide;
- A thousand times She has managed to defended it,
- And as many times She repelled
- The hateful power of atrocious tyranny.
- bloody and sad her story is,
- Yet at the same time sublime and brilliant,
- A source of legitimate glory
- And a great lesson in spartan pride.
- Her innate bravery does not waver:
- In every man there is an immortal hero
- Who wil know how to keep himself up to
- the proverbial valour of old.
CHORUS (Repeat)
THIRD VERSE
- All are devoted and faithful
- To the tradition of warlike bravery
- With which they have always reaped fame
- By saving the Motherland's honour.
- To respect the rights of others
- And base Her actions on right and justice
- Is for Her, without infamous trickery,
- The constant and most firm ambition.
- And in following this line She persists,
- Dedicating her tenacious efforts
- In waging hard war to war;
- Her fortune is found in peace.
CHORUS (Repeat) [1] |
