CHORUS



English:

CHORUS

Glory to the brave nation

Which shook off the yoke,

Respecting law, virtue, and honour.

(repeat chorus)


"Off with the chains! Off with the chains!"

Cried the Lord, cried the Lord,

And the poor man in his hovel

Implored freedom.

At this holy name, there trembled

The vile selfishness that had triumphed.

At this holy name, at this holy name, there trembled

The vile selfishness that had triumphed.

(repeat)


CHORUS


Let's cry out aloud, let's cry out aloud:

Down with oppression! Down with oppression!

Faithful countrymen, your strength

Lies in your unity;

And from the heavens

The supreme Creator

Breathed a sublime spirit

Into the nation.

And from the heavens, and from the heavens

The supreme Creator

Breathed a sublime spirit

Into the nation.

(repeat previous two lines)


CHORUS


United by bonds, united by bonds,

Made by heaven, made by heaven,

All America exists

As a Nation;

And if tyranny

Raises its voice,

Follow the example

Given by Caracas.

And if tyranny, and if tyranny,

Raises its voice,

Follow the example

Given by Caracas.

(repeat previous two lines)
