Himno Nacional Argentino

The 'Himno Nacional Argentino,' performed by Ricardo Iorio, is a powerful rendition of Argentina's national anthem. The song is a stirring call to freedom and unity, deeply rooted in the country's history and struggle for independence. The lyrics begin with a call to the 'mortales' (mortals) to hear the sacred cry of 'Libertad' (freedom), emphasizing the importance of liberty as a fundamental value. The mention of 'rotas cadenas' (broken chains) symbolizes the liberation from colonial rule, while 'noble igualdad' (noble equality) highlights the aspiration for a just and equal society.

The anthem continues by celebrating the formation of the 'Provincias Unidas del Sud' (United Provinces of the South), which refers to the early stages of Argentina's nationhood. The phrase 'los libres del mundo responden' (the free people of the world respond) signifies international recognition and solidarity with Argentina's quest for freedom. The repeated salutation '¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!' (Hail to the great Argentine people) is a tribute to the resilience and spirit of the Argentine people.

The final verses of the anthem are a solemn vow to uphold the laurels of victory and glory. 'Sean eternos los laureles' (May the laurels be eternal) speaks to the enduring pride in the achievements of the past. The line 'Coronados de gloria vivamos' (Crowned with glory, let us live) is a call to live with honor and dignity. The repeated oath '¡O juremos con gloria morir!' (Or let us swear with glory to die) underscores the ultimate sacrifice that the people are willing to make for their country, encapsulating the deep sense of patriotism and commitment to national ideals.
