Paraguayos, República o Muerte

Paraguayos, ¡República o Muerte!

nuestro brío nos dio libertad;

ni opresores, ni siervos alientan

donde reinan unión e igualdad.

English Translation:

Paraguayans: Republic or Death!

Our spirit gave us liberty

Neither oppressors nor slaves exist

Where union and equality reign.

A los pueblos de América, infausto

tres centurias un cetro oprimió,

mas un día soberbia surgiendo,

"¡Basta!" —dijo, y el cetro rompió.

Nuestros padres, lidiando grandiosos,

ilustraron su gloria marcial;

y trozada la augusta diadema,

enalzaron el gorro triunfal.

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 broke the scepter.

Our fathers, grandiose in battle,

Showed their martial glory;

And after smashing the august diadem,

Raised the triumphal cap.
