Choir
I are free, let us be
always
and deny its light before
the sun,
that fail the solemn vow
Stanza
Long time the oppressed Peruvian
dragged the ominous chain;
sentenced to a cruel servitude
moaned long time in silence.
But just the sacred cry
Freedom! On its shores was heard,
indolence slave shakes,
up humiliated head.
Stanza II
Now the roar of rough chains
we heard three centuries of horror,
to free the sacred cry
that the world heard astonished, ceased.
Everywhere San Martn inflamed,
Freedom, freedom, delivered,
and rocking their base Andes
they announced, also with one voice.
Stanza III
With its influx the peoples wake
and like lighting ran the opinion;
from the isthmus to the land of fire
from the fire to the icy region.
Everyone swears to break the link
that nature denied to both worlds,
and break the scepter that Spain,
Proud reclined in both.
