SPANISH LYRICS

:CORO:
:Saludemos la patria orgullosos
:de hijos suyos podernos llamar;
:y juremos la vida animosos,
:sin descanso a su bien consagrar.

:PRIMERA ESTROFA
:De la paz en la dicha suprema,
:siempre noble soño 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 ferrea barrera
:contra el choque de ruin deslealtad,
:desde el día que en su alta bandera
:con su sangre escribió: LIBERTAD!!

:CORO

:SEGUNDA ESTROFA
:Libertad es su dogma, es su guía
:que mil veces logro 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 legitima 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.

: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 ámanos
:su invariable, mas 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.

:CORO


ENGLISH TRANSLATION

:CHORUS:
:Let us salute the motherland,
:Proud to be called her children.
:To her well-being let us swear
:Boldly and unceasingly to devote our lives.
(repeat)

:Devote our lives! ''(repeat 4 times)''

:Of peace enjoyed in perfect happiness,
:El Salvador has always nobly dreamed.
:To achieve this has been her eternal proposition,
:To keep it, her greatest glory.
:With inviolable faith, she eagerly follows
:The way of progress
:In order to fulfil her high destiny
:And achieve a happy future.
:A stern barrier protects her
:Against the clash of vile disloyalty,
:Ever since the day when her lofty banner,
:In letters of blood, wrote "Freedom",
:Wrote "Freedom", wrote "Freedom".

:CHORUS

:Freedom is her dogma and her guide;
:A thousand times she has defended it,
:And as many times has she repelled
:The hateful power of atrocious tyranny.
:Her history has been bloody and sad,
:Yet at the same time sublime and brilliant,
:A source of legitimate glory
:And a great lesson in Spartan pride.
:Her innate bravery shall not waver:
:In every man there is an immortal hero
:Who knows how to maintain the level
:Of the proverbial valour of old.

:CHORUS

:All are self-denying and faithful
:To the tradition of warlike ardour
: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 intrigue,
:The constant and most firm ambition.
:And in following this line she persists,
:Dedicating her tenacious efforts
:In giving hard battle for battle;
:Her happiness is found in peace.

:CHORUS
