Paraguayan National Anthem
Original text
Tetã nguéra Amerikayguápe
tetãma pytagua ojopy,
sapy'ánte, japáy ñapu'ãvo,
Ha'evéma!... ja'e ha opa.
Ñande ru orairõ pu'akápe,
verapy marã'ỹva oipyhy;
ha ojoka omondoho itasã,
poguypópe oiko ko tetã. (2x)
Chorus:
Joyke'y paraguái, iporãma,
anive máramo ñañesũ;
mbarete ha tĩndy ndaijavéiri
oĩhápe joja ha joayhu.
mbarete ha tĩndy ndaijavéiri
oĩhápe joja ha joayhu.
oĩhápe joja ha joayhu.
oĩhápe joja ha joayhu.
English Translation
The peoples of the Americas, unfortunately,
Were oppressed for three centuries by a scepter
But one magnificent day surging forth,
"Enough!", it said, and the scepter was broken.
Our fathers, grandiose in battle,
Showed their martial glory;
And after smashing the august diadem,
The triumphal cap was raised. (2x)
Chorus:
Paraguayans: Republic or Death!
Our spirit gave us liberty
Neither oppressors nor slaves exist
Where union and equality reign.
Neither oppressors nor slaves exist
Where union and equality reign.
Where union and equality reign.
Where union and equality reign.
