Anthem: Hear the Sacred Cry

Anthem: Hear the sacred, mighty cry:
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Hear the sound of broken chains,
behold noble Equality enthroned!

And on their worthy throne,
United Provinces of the South,
and the free world replies:
The great people of Argentina!

May the laurels be eternal
those we earn:
live crowned with glory,
or swear to die gloriously.

Lorenzo Is Up

Dawn is looming, and its rays
illuminate the historic convent
behind the walls; thump—hear the step of steel steeds.
The hosts are preparing—
San Martín will fight at San Lorenzo;
the trumpet sounded loud,
and the command of the chief
ordered the charge.

The enemy advances
with redoubled step;
it deploys to the wind
its red flag.
And our grenadiers,
allies of glory,
inscribed in history
write your best page.

Cabral, heroic soldier,
covering himself with glory,
who, at the price of victory,
surrendered his life and became immortal;
there his courage saved
freedom rising
half a continent.
Honor, honor the great Cabral!

Aurora

AURORA:
High in the sky, an eagle-warrior
in daring, triumphant flight rises;
a blue wing the color of the sky,
a wing the color blue of the sea.
So in the high, radiant aurora,
the golden sun-faced emblem gleams,
and a trail leads to the cardinal north.
The wing is cloth—the eagle's flag.
It is the flag of my country;
the sun was born, God has given it to me;
it is the flag of my country,
the born sun that God has given me.

Up to the Falklands

UP TO THE FALKLANDS:
After its cloak of mist
we have not forgotten.
"Malvinas Argentinas!"
cries the roaring wind and the sea.
None of those horizons
shall we abandon,
for their goal is in the mountains
and stained by the blue sea.
Absent and under foreign flag,
no land is more dear;
of the country in its vastness!
Who speaks here of neglect,
or of waiver, forgiveness? ...
No land is more beloved
than the country in its extent.
Break the cloak of mist
like the sun—our ideal:
"Malvinas Argentinas"
domain—immortal!
And before the sun of our emblem,
pure, clear and triumphant,
shine, oh country, in your crown
Southern Pearl's loss.
To honor our flag
for national pride
shine, oh country, in your crown
Southern Pearl's loss.
