text

refrain

Saludemos la patria orgullosos
De hijos suyos podernos llamar;
Y juremos la vida animosos,
Sin descanso a su bien consagrar.

First verse

De la paz de la dicha suprema,
Siempre noble soñó El Salvador;
Fue obtenerla su eterno problema,
Conservarla es su gloria mayor.
Y con fe inquebrantable el camino
Del progreso se afana en seguir,
Por llenar su grandioso destino
Conquistarse un felíz porvenir.
La protege una férrea barrera
Contra el choque de ruín deslealtad,
Desde el día en que su alta bandera
Con su sangre escribió: ¡LIBERTAD!

Second stanza

Libertad es su dogma, es su guía
Que mil veces veces logró defender;
y otras tantas, de audaz tiranía
Rechazar el odioso poder.
Dolorosa y sangrienta es su Historia
Pero excelsa y brilliant a la vez;
Manantial de legítima gloria,
Gran lección de espartana altivez.
No desmaya en su innata bravura
En cada hombre hay un héroe inmortal
Que sabrá mantenerse a la altura
De su antiguo valor proverbial.

Third verse

Todos sonabtegados, y fell
Al prestigio del bélico ardor
Con que siempre segaron laureles
De la patria salvando el honor.
Respetar los derechos extraños
Dedicando su esfuerzo tenaz,
en hacer cruda guerra a la guerra:
Su ventura se encuentra en la paz.
Y en seguir esta línea se aferra
apoyarse en la recta razón
para ella, sin torpes amaños
Su invariable, más firme ambición.

German translation

refrain

Let us greet the Fatherland with pride
that we can call ourselves his children;
And boldly let us swear our lives
to devote himself to his good without rest.

First verse

Of peace and the greatest happiness
El Salvador has always had a noble dream;
Getting her was his eternal problem
maintaining it is his greatest glory.
With unshakable faith it struggles
to follow the path of progress
to fulfill his great destiny
to conquer a happy future.
A solid wall protects it
against the death knell of infidelity,
since the day when his great flag
with his blood wrote: FREEDOM!

Second stanza

Freedom is his dogma and motto
which it could defend a thousand times;
and just as often, by being tyranny
the hated power failed.
His story is painful and bloody
but at the same time sublime and radiant;
A source of righteous fame
a great lesson in Spartan pride.
His innate courage does not wane
there is an immortal hero in every man
who will be able to achieve
his old proverbial courage.

Third verse

All are self-sacrificing and believe in
the glory of martial zeal
with which they always reaped the laurel
to save the honor of the fatherland.
It respects the rights of others
and stubbornly directs his energies
to fight the war:
It finds its happiness in peace.
And it insists on following that line
based on reason
it is dedicated to this, without clumsy schemes
his steadfast and steadfast ambition.
