Original Lyrics in Spanish
Bolivianos: el hado propicio
coronó nuestros votos y anhelo
es ya libre, ya libre este suelo,
ya cesó su servil condición.
Al estruendo marcial que ayer fuera
y al clamor de la guerra, horroroso,
siguen hoy, en contraste armonioso,
dulces himnos de paz y unión.
siguen hoy, en contraste armonioso,
dulces himnos de paz y unión.

Bolivians, a favorable destiny
Has at long last crowned our vow and longings;
This land is free, free at last.
Its servile state has now finally ceased.
The martial turmoil of yesterday,
And the horrible clamor of war,
Are followed today, in harmonious contrast,
By sweet hymns of peace and unity.
Are followed today, in harmonious contrast,
By sweet hymns of peace and unity.
