Himno Nacional Clandestino

Let's swear to die with glory
The united provinces of the South!
Crowned with glory, let's live
Let's swear to die with glory

The face of the earth rises
A new and glorious nation
Crowned with laurels on its brow
And a lion at its feet

The faces of the new champions
Mars himself comes to animate
Greatness nestles in their chests
They make everything tremble as they march

The Inca's tombs tremble
And in their bones the ardor revives
Renewing what gives splendor
To the ancient homeland

But mountains and walls feel
Resound with horrible clamor
The country is shaken by cries
Of vengeance, war, and fury

Let's swear to die with glory
The united provinces of the South!
Crowned with glory, let's live
Let's swear to die with glory

Envy spat its poisonous bile
On the fierce tyrants
They raise their bloody banner
Provoking the cruelest battle

Don't you see over Mexico and Quito
Throwing themselves with relentless malice
And how they cry bathed in blood
Potosi, Cochabamba, and La Paz!

Don't you see over sad Caracas
Spreading mourning, tears, and death!
Don't you see devouring like beasts
Every people they manage to subdue!

To you, Argentines, the vile invader
Dares to challenge your pride
He already treads on your fields
Counting so many glories to trample victoriously

Oh, let's swear to die with glory
The united provinces of the South!
Crowned with glory, let's live
Oh, let's swear to die with glory

But the brave who swore united
To uphold their happy freedom
Will know how to oppose those bloodthirsty tigers
With strong hearts

The brave Argentine to arms
Runs burning with vigor and valor
The war bugle like thunder
Resounded in the Southern fields

Buenos Aires takes the lead
Of the Union's peoples
And with robust arms they tear apart
The haughty Iberian Lion

San Jose, San Lorenzo, Suipacha
Both Stones, Salta and Tucuman
La Colonia and the very walls
Of the tyrant in the Eastern Shore

Oh, let's swear to die with glory
The united provinces of the South!
Crowned with glory, let's live
Oh, let's swear to die with glory

They are eternal signs that say
Here the Argentine arm triumphed
Here the fierce oppressor of the homeland
Bowed his proud neck

Victory covered the Argentine warrior
With its shining wings
And the tyrant, terrified at the sight
Fled in infamy

His flags, his weapons surrender
As trophies to Liberty
And on wings of glory the people raise
A worthy throne to their great majesty

From one pole to the other resounds
The resounding trumpet of fame
And teaching America's name
It repeats to them: Mortals! Hear

Oh, let's swear to die with glory
The united provinces of the South!
Crowned with glory, let's live
Oh, let's swear to die with glory
