Provincial Anthem

Text: Prof. Fanor Montero Claure - Music: Prof. Néstor Chávez García

De la extensa sabana del llano

Como estatua gigante de honor

Ahí esta el guaraní boliviano

Un emblema racial de valor

Siglos füron de luchas tenaces

En defensa de la libertad

Relevando como ley y por siempre

"Antes muertos que incados jamás"

Refrain:

Alabemos la cuan bendita,

Que es altiva y de gran corazón

Que de Ñuflo de Chavez llevaremos

Se cruceños de sepa y de honor.

Ya paso el momento horroroso

Solo historias de hazañas quedaron

Y hoy unidos seremos hermanos

A la sombra de nuestro perdón.

Cordillera fecunda y altiva

Con sus fuentes de hidrocarburos

It pilar principal de la vida

De Bolivia is present and futuro.

Refrain:

Alabemos la cuan bendita,

Que es altiva y de gran corazón

Que de Ñuflo de Chavez llevaremos

Se cruceños de sepa y de honor.
