Original lyrics
Bolivian National Anthem - Himno Nacional de Bolivia
Bolivianos: el hado propicio
coronó nuestros votos y anhelos.
Es ya libre, ya libre este suelo,
ya cesó su servil condición.
Al estruendo marcial que ayer fuera
y al clamor de la guerra horroroso,
siguen hoy, en contraste armonioso,
dulces himnos de paz y de unión.
Siguen hoy, en contraste armonioso,
dulces himnos de paz y de unión.
[Estribillo:]
De la Patria, el alto nombre,
en glorioso esplendor conservemos.
Y en sus aras de nuevo juremos:
¡Morir antes que esclavos vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos vivir!
¡Morir antes que esclavos vivir!
Loor eterno a los bravos guerreros,
cuyo heroico valor y firmeza,
conquistaron las glorias que empieza
hoy Bolivia feliz a gozar.
Que sus nombres, en mármol y en bronce,
a remotas edades transmitan,
y en sonoros cantares repitan:
¡Libertad, Libertad, Libertad!
Y en sonoros cantares repitan:
¡Libertad, Libertad, Libertad!
[Estribillo]
Aquí alzó la justicia su trono
que la vil opresión desconoce,
y en su timbre glorioso legose
libertad, libertad, libertad.
Esta tierra innocente y hermosa
que ha debido a Bolívar su nombre
es la patria feliz donde el hombre
goza el bien de la dicha y la paz.
Es la patria feliz donde el hombre
goza el bien de la dicha y la paz.
[Estribillo]
Si extranjero poder algún día
sojuzgar a Bolivia intentare,
al destino fatal se prepare
que amenaza a soberbio invasor.
Que los hijos del grande Bolívar
hayan mil y mil veces jurado:
morir antes que ver humillado
de la Patria el augusto pendón.
Morir antes que ver humillado
de la Patria el augusto pendón.
[Estribillo]

Translation
Bolivian National Anthem
Bolivians: favourable destiny
Crowned our votes and desires
It is now free, this land is now free
And now its servile condition has ended
From the military uproar that was yesterday
And from the cry of the terrible war
Today follow, in peaceful contrast
Sweet hymns of peace and union
Today follow, in peaceful contrast
Sweet hymns of peace and union
[Chorus:]
Of the homeland, the lofty name
In glorious splendour may we keep [it]
And in its honour let's swear once again:
To die before living as slaves!
To die before living as slaves!
To die before living as slaves!
Eternal praise to the brave warriors
Whose heroic courage and determination
Won the glories that today
Bolivia happily begins to enjoy
May their names, in marble and bronze,
Be transmitted to future ages
And in resounding song repeat:
Freedom, freedom, freedom!
And in resounding song repeat:
Freedom, freedom, freedom!
[Chorus]
Here justice set up its throne
That does not recognise vile oppression
And in its glorious stamp let us rejoice
Freedom, freedom, freedom
This innocent and beautiful land
That has its name because of Bolívar 1
It is the happy homeland where man
Enjoys good fortune and peace
It is the happy homeland where man
Enjoys good fortune and peace
[Chorus]
If a foreign power one day
Tries to subjugate Bolivia
Let it be prepared for the fatal destiny
That threatens the arrogant invader
Let the sons of the great Bolívar
Have sworn a thousand times over:
To die before seeing the majestic banner
Of the homeland lowered
To die before seeing the majestic banner
Of the homeland lowered
[Chorus]
- 1. an important leader in South America's war to win independence
