CHORUS
Oh unfading glory!
Oh immortal joy!
In furrows of pain
Good is already germinating.
Good is already germinating.
Oh unfading glory!
Oh immortal joy!
In furrows of pain
Good is already germinating.
The fearful night came to an end,
Liberty sublime
Is spreading the dawns
Of its invincible light.
The whole of humanity,
Which is groaning under chains,
Understands the words
Of the One who died on the Cross.
"Independence" cries
The American world;
In heroes' blood is bathing
The Land of Columbus.
But this great principle:
"The King is not sovereign",
Resounds, and those who suffer
Praise the passion in it.
CORO
