Himno Nacional del Perú

We are free, let us be
Let's always be it
And first deny your lights, your lights, your lights of the Sun
May we miss the solemn vow
That the Homeland raised to the Eternal
May we miss the solemn vow
That the Homeland raised to the Eternal

The Peruvian was oppressed for a long time
The ominous chain dragged
Sentenced to cruel servitude
Long in silence he moaned
More barely the sacred cry
Freedom! On its shores it was heard
Slave indolence shakes
The humiliated neck lifted

Already the roar of angry chains
That we heard three centuries of horror
From the free to the sacred cry
That the world heard astonished, ceased
Everywhere Saint Martin inflamed
Freedom, freedom, pronounced
And rocking its base the Andes
They announced it, also with one voice

With its influence the people awaken
And what a lightning bolt the opinion spread
From the isthmus to the lands of fire
From the fire to the frozen region
Everyone swears to break the link
That nature denied both worlds
And break that scepter that Spain
She leaned proudly on both

Lima, fulfills its solemn vow
And, severe, her anger showed
To the impotent tyrant throwing
That tried to prolong its oppression
At his effort the crickets jumped
And the grooves that he repaired
They fueled hatred and revenge
That he would inherit from his Inca and Lord

Compatriots, no more seeing her as a slave
If humiliated for three centuries she moaned
Forever let us swear her free
Maintaining your own splendor
Our arms, until today unarmed
Always be priming the barrel
That one day the beaches of Iberia
They will feel the terror of its roar

Let's excite the jealousy of Spain
Well, he senses with waning and fury
That in the contest of great nations
Our country will become a paragon
In the list that is formed of these
We will fill the line first
May the ambitious tyrant Iberino
That all of America was devastated

At their summit the Andes hold
The two-color flag or pennant
May it announce the effort to the centuries
To be free, to be free
That being free forever gave us
In its shadow let us live peacefully
And when the Sun is born through its peaks
Let's renew the great oath
What we surrender, what we surrender
That we surrender to the God of Jacob
That we surrender to the God of Jacob
To the God of Jacob
