English translation

Oíd, mortales, el grito sagrado: "¡Libertad! ¡Libertad! ¡Libertad!" Oíd el ruido de rotas cadenas ved en trono a la noble igualdad Ya su trono dignísimo abrieron las Provincias Unidas del Sud y los libres del mundo responden: "¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!" "¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!" Y los libres del mundo responden: "¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!" Y los libres del mundo responden: "¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!" 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!

Hear, mortals, the sacred cry: "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!" Hear the noise of broken chains, see the noble Equality enthroned. Their most honourable throne has been opened By the United Provinces of the South. And the free ones of the world reply: "To the great Argentine people, hail!" "To the great Argentine people, hail!" And the free ones of the world reply: "To the great Argentine people, hail!" And the free ones of the world reply: "To the great Argentine people, hail!" May the laurels be eternal, the ones we managed to win, the ones we managed to win. Let us live crowned in glory... or let us swear in glory to die! Or let us swear in glory to die! Or let us swear in glory to die!
