Guatemala National Anthem Lyrics
Guatemala
Original Spanish Words
¡Guatemala feliz! que tus aras
no profane jamás el verdugo
ni haya exclavos que laman el yugo
ni tiranos que escupan tu faz.
Si mañana tu suelo sagrado
lo amenaza invasión extranjera,
libre al viento tu hermosa bandera
a vencer o a morir llamará.
CHORUS
Libre al viento tu hermosa bandera
a vencer o a morir llamará
que tu pueblo con ánima fiera
antes muerta que esclavo será.
English :
Fortunate Guatemala! May your altars
Never be profaned by cruel men.
May there never be slaves who submit to their yoke,
Or tyrants who deride you.
If tomorrow your sacred soil
Should be threatened by foreign invasion,
Your fair flag, flying freely in the wind,
Will call to you: Conquer or die.
CHORUS
Your fair flag, flying freely in the wind,
Will call to you: Conquer or die;
For your people, with heart and soul,
Would prefer death to slavery.
