EL SALVADOR
CHORUS Saludemos la Patria orgullosos De hijos suyos podernos llamar Y juremos la vida animosos Sin des canso a su bien consagrar.
CHORUS Saludemos la Patria orgullosos De hijos suyos podernos llamar Y juremos la vida animosos Sin descanso a su bien consagrar, consagrar, consagrar,consagrar,consagrar.
Dela paz en la dicha suprema Siempre noble soñó El Salvador. Fué obtenerla su eterno problema, Conservarla en su gloria mayor. Y con fé inquebrantable el camino Del progreso se afana en seguir Por Ilenar su grandioso destino, Conquistarse un feliz porvenir. Le proteje una férrea barrera Contra el cho que de riun deslealtad Desde el día que en su alta bandera Con su sangre escribió libertad! escribió libertad! escribió libertad!
CHORUS
Libertad es su dogma, es su guía, Que mil veces logró defender; Y otras Tantas de audaz tirania Rachazar el odioso poder. Dolorosa y sangrienta es su historia, Pero excelsa y brillante a la vez, Manantial de legitima gloria, Gran lección de espartana altivez. No desmaya su innata bravura: En cada hombre hay un héroe inmortal, Que sabrá mantenerse a la altura De su antiguo valor proverbial.
CHORUS
Todos son abnegados y fieles Al prestigio del bélico ardor, Con que siempre segaron laureles De la Patria salvando el honor. Respetar los derechos extraños Y apoyarse en la recta razón Es para ella, sin torpes amaños, La invariable, más firme ambición. Y en seguir esta línea se aferra, Dedicando su esfuerzo tenaz En hacer cruda guerra a la guerra; Su ventura se encuentra en la paz.

TRANSLATION |
CHORUS(twice) 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.
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.
