Short version:
Coro:
Si el traidor a la lid nos provoca
¡Arma al hombro a vencer o morir!
Que el rehusar si el clarín nos convoca
Es afrenta en el mundo vivir.
Chorus:
If the traitor causes us to fight
¡Weapon in shoulder to win or die!
That to refuse if the bugle summons us
Is a disgrace in the living world.
Estrofa I y IV
Cuna ilustre de Chávez y Arteaga,
Que a la patria mil héroes le das,
Ciudad bella, hermosísima maga,
Dios te otorgue el progreso y la paz.
Stanza I and IV:
Illustrious cradle of Chávez and Arteaga,
That the country you give a thousand heroes,
Beautiful city, beautiful sorceress,
God grant you peace and progress.
Estrofa II:
Nunca el sol de los libres su rayo
Niegue airado a tu bóveda azul,
Ese sol esplendente de Mayo
Que a tu gloria ha prestado su luz.
Stanza II:
Never the free rays of the sun
Angrily deny your blue dome,
That shining sun of May
That to your glory has provided light.
Estrofa III:
Él alumbre tu senda de flores,
Él ¡oh Patria! Otros triunfos te dé,
Y no logren los ciegos traidores
Nunca, nunca su luz obtener.
Stanza III:
He illuminates your path with flowers
He ¡oh Fatherland!, other triumphs gives to you,
And the blind traitors fail
Never, ever get its light.
