English translation
- CHORUS:
- Let us salute the motherland,
- Proud to be called her children.
- To her well-being let us swear
- Boldly and unceasingly to devote our lives.
- (repeat)
- Devote our lives! (repeat 4 times)
- Of peace enjoyed in perfect happiness,
- El Salvador has always nobly dreamed.
- To achieve this has been her eternal proposition,
- To keep it, her greatest glory.
- With inviolable faith, she eagerly follows
- The way of progress
- In order to fulfil her high destiny
- And achieve a happy future.
- A stern barrier protects her
- Against the clash of vile disloyalty,
- Ever since the day when her lofty banner,
- In letters of blood, wrote "Freedom",
- Wrote "Freedom", wrote "Freedom".
- CHORUS
- Freedom is her dogma and her guide;
- A thousand times she has defended it,
- And as many times has she repelled
- The hateful power of atrocious tyranny.
- Her history has been bloody and sad,
- Yet at the same time sublime and brilliant,
- A source of legitimate glory
- And a great lesson in Spartan pride.
- Her innate bravery shall not waver:
- In every man there is an immortal hero
- Who knows how to maintain the level
- Of the proverbial valour of old.
- CHORUS
- All are self-denying and faithful
- To the tradition of warlike ardour
- With which they have always reaped fame
- By saving the motherland's honour.
- To respect the rights of others
- And base her actions on right and justice
- Is for her, without infamous intrigue,
- The constant and most firm ambition.
- And in following this line she persists,
- Dedicating her tenacious efforts
- In giving hard battle for battle;
- Her happiness is found in peace.
- CHORUS
