The national anthem of Argentina is not called ¡Oíd, Mortales!, but, rather boringly, Himno Nacional Argentino (that is, Argentine National Anthem), Ejrrjs | What? 11:34, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ambas Piedras

Ambas Piedras means both [battles of Las] Piedras.

In the list of battles the lyrics mention ambas Piedras; the Combate de Las Piedras on May 18, 1811, where the "patriotas" led by José Gervasio Artigas beat the "realistas" of José de Posadas (in nowadays Uruguay) and the Combate de las Piedras on September 3, 1812, a victory courtesy of Manuel Belgrano.

Vicente López y Planes, who fought in the second one, is said to have written the lyrics in the aftermath of the battle.

[edit] A POSSIBLE wrong translation

"El nombre enseñando" is translated as "the name teaching". I think this is nonsence, it might be a Gerundive, and it would have to be translated, in my opinion, as "the name that must be taught" (Argentina, that isnt the Viceroyalty of River Plate anymore) Argentino 01:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

It's not "el nombre enseñando" but "el nombre enseñado", wich means "the taught name".

Enseñar also means to show. I think that's what it means in that phrase. Mariano(t/c) 08:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
In "Símbolos Nacionales de la República Argentina" ISBN = 950-691-036-7 published by the Biblioteca del Congreso de la Nacion, wich i beelive is trustworthly, says "enseñando", anyway, the translation makes no sense to me Argentino (in Cyber)02:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
As I understand the text, the bugler is teaching/showing/exposing/displaying, from America, "its" name. Of course, by America it means the American continent. So I would translate that as "and from America its name showing, repeats..." (y de América el nombre enseñando les repite). It is a rather poetic and complicated phrase... --cholo 04:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] www.national-symbol.com

IP: 67.15.151.100 has been adding this site to every country he could get his hands on. Is this site worthy of being in every country related article on wikipedia? --A/B 'Shipper 女 (talk) 15:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Argentine National Anthem MP3

That MP3 is not the official Anthem that can be heard at official events. It would be nice to have the official one. --cholo 04:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think its a version iterpreted by Lito Vitale. --cholo 04:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
