National Anthem of Uruguay
Spanish Lyrics
Orientales, la Patria o la tumba!
Orientales, la patria o la tumba.
Libertad o con gloria morir.
Es el voto que el alma pronuncia
y que heroicos sabremos cumplir.
Libertad, libertad, orientales
este grito a la patria salvó
y a sus bravos en fieras batallas
de entusiasmo sublimé inflamó
Este don sacrosanto la gloria
merecimos, tiranos: temblad !
Libertad en la lid clamaremos
y muriendo también libertad !
English Translation
Uruguayans, the Fatherland or Death!
Orientals, our nation or the grave,
Liberty or with glory we die.
Its the vows that our souls pronounce
and which heroicly we will fullfill.
Liberty, Liberty, Orientals.
This is the outcry which our nation saved
and its braves in fierce battles
of sublime enthusiasm enflamed
This Holy gift of Glory we deserved
Tyrants: Tremble !
Liberty in combat we will Cry Out !
and even dying, Freedom we shall also Shout !
