Patria Querida

Robust body, always upright forehead
Happy we go in pursuit of your banner
And in your praise rise so beloved country
Of our love the most fervent song

You are the lovely land
Full of light and pleasure
Where gentle the dawn shines
Where every being smiles

Silent blue sky
Your jungles with his voice
They love our life
What a favor from God

Dear homeland, we are your hope
We are the flower of the beautiful future
Your old good fortune will return
With his fame to shine

And in the annals of your noble history
We swear to you our courage
To write the page of glory
Of honor, of honor, of honor

If unfortunately the clarion of battle
One day he calls us to fulfill the great duty
Our chests will be the walls there
That will stop the affronts to your being

You will be free, oh beloved country
As long as we have the ruby
Of our spilled blood
Triumphant there in Curupayty

The motto of value
That must always follow
The Paraguayan race
Is; Win or die!
