Original Lyrics in Spanish
Puro, Chile, es tu cielo azulado,
Puras brisas te cruzan también,
Y tu campo de flores bordado
Es la copia feliz del Edén.
Majestuosa es la blanca montaña
Que te dio por baluarte el Señor,
Y ese mar que tranquilo te baña
Te promete un futuro esplendor.
Coro:
Dulce Patria, recibe los votos
Con que Chile en tus aras juró
Que o la tumba será de los libres
O el asilo contra la opresión.
Que o la tumba será de los libres
O el asilo contra la opresión.
Que o la tumba será de los libres
O el asilo contra la opresión.
O el asilo contra la opresión.
O el asilo contra la opresión.
English Translation of the Lyrics
Here is the Chile national anthem English version. “Himno Nacional de Chile” reflects the pride and unity of Chile. Below is the English translation of the lyrics.
Pure, Chile, is your blue sky,
Pure breezes cross you as well,
And your flower-embroidered fields
Are the happy copy of Eden.
Majestic is the white mountain
That was given to you as a bastion by the Lord,
And that sea that quietly washes your shores
Promises you a splendid future.
Chorus:
Sweet Fatherland, accept the vows
With which Chile swore at your altars
Either the tomb of the free
Or the refuge against oppression.
Either the tomb of the free
Or the refuge against oppression.
Either the tomb of the free
Or the refuge against oppression.
Or the refuge against oppression.
Or the refuge against oppression.
