Marcha de Los Andes

We are leaving for Chile
A long journey awaits us
Let's check if everything is there
If all the luggage is there
We carry the flags
That the ladies sewed for us
We carry our ponchos
Which are of great design

Let's take some maps
In case we get lost
We carry a compass
Thanks to the people of Buenos Aires
Don't forget the cannons
That we are going to fight with
Darn, they are heavy
Who wants to carry them?

Where are we going, my General?
We are going to Chile, we are going there
Why are we going, my General?
To be free, one, two, three, let's go!

We need grenadiers
Noble gauchos with courage
All the soldiers are ready
But look what I brought!
We need many weapons
Let's manufacture them somehow
We are going to give the Royalist army a fight

And where is Lima, my General?
Past Chile, it's in Peru
Why are we going, my General?
To be free, Free from the South!
