lyrics
Bolivianos: el hado propicio
coronó nuestros votos y
anhelos.
Es ya libre, ya libre este suelo,
ya cesó su servil condición.
Al estruendo marcial que ayer
fuera
y al clamor de la guerra horroroso,
siguen hoy, en contraste armonioso,
dulces himnos de paz y de unión.
Siguen hoy, en contraste armonioso,
dulces himnos de paz y de unión.
De
la Patria, el alto nombre,
en glorioso esplendor conservemos.
Y en sus aras de nuevo juremos:
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
Loor
eterno a los bravos guerreros,
cuyo heroico valor y firmeza,
conquistaron las glorias que empieza
hoy Bolivia feliz a gozar.
Que sus nombres, en mármol
y en bronce,
a remotas edades transmitan,
y en sonoros cantares repitan:
¡Libertad, Libertad, Libertad!
Y en sonoros cantares repitan:
¡Libertad, Libertad, Libertad!
De
la Patria, el alto nombre,
en glorioso esplendor conservemos.
Y en sus aras de nuevo juremos:
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
Aquí
alzó la justicia su trono
que la vil opresión desconoce,
y en su timbre glorioso legose
libertad, libertad, libertad.
Esta tierra inocente y hermosa
que ha debido a Bolívar
su nombre
es la patria feliz donde el hombre
goza el bien de la dicha y la
paz.
Es la patria feliz donde el hombre
goza el bien de la dicha y la
paz.
De
la Patria, el alto nombre,
en glorioso esplendor conservemos.
Y en sus aras de nuevo juremos:
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
Si
extranjero poder alqún
día
sojuzgar a Bolivia intentare,
al destino fatal se prepare
que amenaza a soberbio invasor.
Que los hijos del grande Bolívar
hayan mil y mil veces jurado:
morir antes que ver humillado
de la Patria el augusto pendón.
Morir antes que ver humillado
de la Patria el augusto pendón.
De
la Patria, el alto nombre,
en glorioso esplendor conservemos.
Y en sus aras de nuevo juremos:
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos
vivir!

Translation
Bolivians, a most favorable destiny
has at long last crowned our vows
and longings;
This land is free, free at last.
Its servile state has now finally
ceased.
The martial turmoil of yesterday,
and the horrible clamor of war,
are followed today, in harmonious
contrast,
by sweet hymns of peace and unity.
Are followed today, in harmonious
contrast,
by sweet hymns of peace and unity.
Let us keep the lofty name of
our Fatherland
in glorious splendor conserved.
And, on its altars, once more
we must swear:
to die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
Eternal praise to the brave warriors
whose heroic valor and firmness
conquered the freedom and glories
that now
a happy Bolivia justly begins
to enjoy!
Let their names, preserved forever
in marble and bronze,
transmit their glory to remote
future ages.
And in resounding song let them
repeat their simple call:
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
And in resounding song let them
repeat their simple call:
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Let us keep the lofty name of
our Fatherland
in glorious splendor conserved.
And, on its altars, once more
we must swear:
to die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
Here has Justice erected its Throne
which vile oppression ignores
and, on its glorious stamp let
us rejoice
Freedom, freedom, freedom
This innocent and beautiful land,
which owes its name to Bolívar,
is the happy homeland where mankind
enjoys the benefits of good fortune
and peace.
Is the happy homeland where mankind
enjoys the benefits of good fortune
and peace.
Let us keep the lofty name of
our Fatherland
in glorious splendor conserved.
And, on its altars, once more
we must swear:
to die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
If a foreigner may, any given
day
even attempt to subjugate Bolivia,
let him prepare for a fatal destiny,
which menaces such brave aggressor.
For the sons of the mighty Bolívar
have sworn, thousands upon thousands
of times:
to die rather than see the country's
majestic banner humiliated.
To die rather than see the country's
majestic banner humiliated.
Let us keep the lofty name of
our Fatherland
in glorious splendor conserved.
And, on its altars, once more
we must swear:
to die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
To die before we would live as
slaves!
