Mi Patria y Mi Bandera

Since I saw the light, my chest harbors
Two loves, my homeland and my flag
For my homeland, Peru, I give my life
For my flag, the soul, the whole soul

I want my beloved homeland
To be in America what it once was
May its white and fiery emblem
Fly high and be the first

My homeland, my flag
My homeland and my flag
Since I was a child they were my charms
They were my affections

Not the blood that leaves a horrible mark
Nor the mud, a disgrace, fall upon it
We must avoid the insult, above all
We must avoid the insult, above all

Mud, mud, never that!
Mud, mud, never that!
Mud, mud, never that!
Mud, mud, never that!
