Chorus- Adelante marchemos, valientes, al combate y al rudo fragor
- por la patria muy altas las frentes, despleguemos pujanza y valor.
- Por la patria muy altas las frentes, despleguemos pujanza y valor.
- Nuestra sangre es la savia del pueblo y en el pueblo se plasma en canción
- es la rosa más pura del viento que en la historia da brillo a la acción,
- En las aguas, el aire y la tierra la victoria es el alba inmortal,
- si sublime es el triunfo en la guerra, preservemos la gloria y la paz.
Chorus
- Y si el brazo extranjero se atreve a infamar de este suelo el honor
- antes muerte mil veces nos llegue que rendirnos al torpe invasor,
- pues de todas las patrias que el cielo diera al hombre en morada de amor,
- es la nuestra el más hondo desvelo en el sueño de un mundo mejor.
