Coro: ¡Somos libres! ¡seámoslo siempre, seámoslo siempre! y antes niegue sus luces sus luces, ¡sus luces el Sol! Que faltemos al voto solemne que la patria al Eterno elevó, Que faltemos al voto solemne que la patria al Eterno elevó. Que faltemos al voto solemne que la patria al Eterno elevó.   En su cima los Andes sostengan la bandera o pendón bicolor, que a los siglos anuncie el esfuerzo que ser libres, que ser libres que ser libres por siempre nos dio. A su sombra vivamos tranquilos, y al nacer por sus cumbres el Sol, renovemos el gran juramento que rendimos, que rendimos, que rendimos al Dios de Jacob, al Dios de Jacob que rendimos al Dios de Jacob, al Dios de Jacob.   Coro

Chorus: We are free! May we always be so, may we always be so! And may the Sun renounce its light, its light, its light, Before we break the solemn vow that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal, Before we break the solemn vow that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal. Before we break the solemn vow that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.   On its summits may the Andes sustain the two-color flag or standard, may it announce to the centuries the effort that being free, that being free, that being free gave us forever. Under its shadow may we live calmly and, at birth of the sun in its summits, may we all renew the great oath that we rendered, that we rendered, that we rendered to the God of Jacob, the God of Jacob. that we rendered to the God of Jacob, the God of Jacob. Chorus
