Lyrics - Spanish

(Melody by Blas Parera, 1777–1840, Lyrics by Vicente López y Planes, 1785 – 1856)

Oíd mortales, el grito sagrado
Libertad, Libertad, Libertad.
Oíd el ruido de rotas cadenas
Ved el trono a la noble igualdad
Ya a su trono dignísimo abrieron

Las provincias unidas del sur
Y los libres del mundo responden
Al gran pueblo argentino salud
Y los libres del mundo responden
Al gran pueblo argentino salud

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

English Translation - Argentinian National Hymn

Hear, mortals, the sacred cry:
‘Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!’
Hear the noise of broken chains
See on the throne noble equality

The United Provinces of the South
opened up the throne
And the free people of the world respond:
‘Health to the Argentinian people!’
‘Health to the Argentinian people!’
And the free people of the world respond:
‘Health to the Argentinian people!’
And the free people of the world respond:
‘Health to the Argentinian people!’

May the laurels that we knew how to obtain
That we knew how to obtain, be eternal
May we live crowned with glory
Or let’s swear to die with glory! (source)
