Oid, mortales, el grito sagrado:
"!Libertad, libertad, libertad!"

Mortals! Hear the sacred cry:

"Freedom, freedom, freedom!"

Oid el ruido de rotas cadenas,
ved en trono a la noble igualdad.

Hear the noise of broken chains,
see the noble Equality enthroned.

Ya su trono dignisimo abrieron
las Provincias Unidas del Sud
y los libres del mundo responden:

The United Provinces of the South
have now opened their very honorable throne.
And the free people of the world reply:

"Al gran pueblo argentino, !salud!
Al gran pueblo argentino, !salud!"
Y los libres del mundo responden:
"Al gran pueblo argentino, !salud!"

"We salute the great people of Argentina!"
"We salute the great people of Argentina!"
And the free people of the world reply:
"We salute the great people of Argentina!"

Estribillo
Sean eternos los laureles
que supimos conseguir,
que supimos conseguir.
Coronados de gloria vivamos...
!o juremos con gloria morir!,
!o juremos con gloria morir!,
!o juremos con gloria morir!

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

About Anthem

The lyrics of the Himno Nacional Argentino (the national anthem of Argentina) were written by Vicente López y Planes, and the music was composed by Blas Parera.

This song was adopted as the national anthem on May 11, 1813, three years before the formal declaration of independence from Spain. May 11 is therefore Anthem Day in Argentina (image: Congress building in Buenos Aires /source: Wikipedia)
