[edit] Lyrics in Spanish Language

Chorus

Alto timbre de honor ostentamos
de la patria en la invicta bandera;
es de mayo la luz que sugiera
al nosotross gritar ¡Libertad!

I
Una vez se pobló mi llanura
con heroico tropel de guerreros
que esgrimían sus limpios aceros
de un deseo magnánimo en pos.

II
Sus alforjas llené, generosa
e inmolé mi rebaño, aquel día,
a esa hueste inmortal que emprendía
la conquista del Templo del Sol.

[edit] Lyrics in EnglishLanguage

Chorus

High seal of honor we make flaunt of
from the homeland in the invincible flag;
it is from May the light that suggests
when we shout Liberty!

I
Once my plains were populated
with an heroic army of warriors
that wielded their clean steels
in pursuit of a magnanimous desire.

II
I filled their knapsacks, generously
and immolated my herd, that day,
to that troop that set up to
conquer the Temple of the Sun.
