Chorus:Dulce patria, recibe los votoscon que Chile en tus aras juróque, o la tumba serás de los libres,o el asilo contra la opresión.
IIHabituarnos, quisieron tres siglosdel esclavo, a la suerte infelízque, al sonar de sus propias cadenasmás aprende a cantar, que a gemir.Pero el fuerte clamor de la patria,ese ruido espantoso acallóy las voces de la independenciapenetraron hasta el corazón.
Chorus
IIIEn sus ojos hermosos, la patria,nuevas luces empieza a sentiry, observando sus altos derechos,se ha encendido en ardor varonil.De virtud y justicia rodeada,a los pueblos del orbe anunció:que, con sangre de Arauco, ha firmadola gran carta de emancipación.
Chorus
IVLos tiranos, en rabia, encendidosy, tocando de cerca su fin,desplegaron la furia impotente,aunque en vano se halaga en destruir.Ciudadanos: mirad en el campoel cadáver del vil invasor,que perezca ese cruel, que el sepulcrotan lejano a su cuna buscó.
Chorus
VEsos valles también ved, chilenosque, el eterno quiso bendecir,y en que ríe la naturaleza,aunque ajada del déspota vil.Al amigo y al deudo más caro,sirven hoy de sepulcro y de honor,mas la sangre del héroe es fecunda,y en cada hombre cuenta un vengador.
Chorus
VIDel silencio profundo en que habitanesos manes ilustres, oídque, os reclamen venganza, chilenos,y, en venganza a la guerra acudid.De Lautaro, Colocolo y Rengo,reanimad el nativo valor,y empeñad el coraje en las fieras,que la España, a extinguirnos, mandó.
Chorus
VIIEsos monstruos que cargan consigoel carácter infame y servil,¿Cómo pueden jamás compararsecon los héroes del cinco de abril?Ellos sirven al mismo tiranoque, su ley y su sangre burló...por la patria, nosotros peleamosnuestra vida lealtad y honor.
Chorus
VIIIPor el mar y la tierra amenazanlos secuaces del déspota vil,pero toda la naturalezalos espera para combatir.El Pacífico, al sud y occidente,al oriente: los Ándes y el sol,por el norte: un inmenso desiertoy el centro: libertad y unión.
Chorus
IXVed la insignia con que, en Chacabuco,al intruso supisteis rendir,y el augusto tricolor que, en Maipo,en un día de triunfo nos dio mil.Vedle ya, señoreando un océanoy, flameando sobre el fiero león,se estremece a su vista, el íbero,nuestros pechos inflama el valor.
Chorus
XCiudadanos, la gloria presida,de la patria, el destino felíz,y podrán, las edades futuras,a sus padres, así bendecir.Venturosas, mil veces, las vidascon que Chile, su dicha afianzó...si quedare un tirano, su sangrede los héroes escriba el blasón.
Chorus:Sweet Homeland, receive the vowsThat Chile gave you on your altarsThat, you be either the tomb of the free,Or a refuge from oppression.
IIHabituate us, they wanted three centuriesfrom the slave, to the unhappy fatethat, at the sound of their own chainshe learns to sing more than to moan.But the loud cry of the homeland,that awful noise silencedand the voices of independencepenetrated to the heart.
Chorus
IIIIn her beautiful eyes, the homeland,new lights begin to feeland, observing the high rights of her,she has ignited in manly ardor.Of virtue and justice surrounded,to the peoples of the world he announced:that, with Arauco's blood, he has signedthe great emancipation card.
Chorus
IVThe tyrants, in rage, turned on and, close to its end,they displayed helpless fury,though in vain he flattered himself in destroying.Citizens: look in the fieldthe corpse of the vile invader,may that cruel perish, may the graveso far to the cradle he sought.
Chorus
VSee those valleys too, Chileansthat the eternal wanted to bless,and in which nature laughs,though marred by the vile despot.To the friend and the dearest debtor,they serve today as a grave and honor,but the hero's blood is fertile,and in every man there is an avenger.
Chorus
VIOf the deep silence in which they inhabitthose illustrious men, hearLet them claim revenge on you, Chileans,and, in revenge to the war go.From Lautaro, Colocolo and Rengo,revive the native courage,and pledge your courage in the beasts,that Spain, to extinguish us, commanded.
Chorus
VIIThose monsters that carry with themthe infamous and servile character,How can they ever comparewith the heroes of the fifth of April?They serve the same tyrantthat, his law and his blood mocked...for the country, we fightour life loyalty and honor.
Chorus
VIIIBy sea and land they threatenthe henchmen of the vile despot,but all natureawaits you to fight.The Pacific, to the south and west,to the east: the Andes and the sun,to the north: an immense desertand the center: freedom and union.
Chorus
IXSee the insignia with which, in Chacabuco,you knew how to surrender the intruder,and the august tricolor that, in Maipo,on a day of triumph he gave us a thousand.See him now, dominating an oceanand, flaming over the fierce lion,shudders at the sight of him, the Iberian,our breasts inflame the courage.
Chorus
XCitizens, glory presides,of the homeland, the happy destiny,and may, future ages,their parents, thus bless. Adventurous a thousand times liveswith which Chile, its happiness strengthened...if I remain a tyrant, his bloodof the heroes write the blazon.
Chorus
