Paraguayan national anthem - wikipedia Paraguayan national anthem Himno Nacional Paraguayo English : Paraguayan National Anthem National anthem of Paraguay Also known as `` Paraguayos, República o Muerte '' English : `` Paraguayans, Republic or Death '' Lyrics Francisco Acuña de Figueroa, 1846 Music Francisco José Debali, 1933 Audio sample `` Paraguayan National Anthem '' ( instrumental ) file help The `` Paraguayan National Anthem '' ( Spanish : Himno Nacional Paraguayo ), also known alternatively as `` Paraguayans, Republic or Death '' ( English : Paraguayos, República o Muerte ), is the national anthem of Paraguay. The lyrics were written by Francisco Acuña de Figueroa ( who also wrote Orientales, la Patria o la tumba, the national anthem of Uruguay ) under the presidency of Carlos Antonio López, who at the time delegated Bernardo Jovellanos and Anastasio González to ask Figueroa to write the anthem ( Jovellanos and González were commissioners of the Paraguayan government in Uruguay ). Contents 1 History 2 Lyrics 3 References 4 External links History The lyrics to the song were officially finished by Francisco Acuña de Figueroa on May 20, 1846. It still remains unclear who was responsible for the music. Some sources claim that Frenchman Francisco Sauvageot de Dupuis was the composer, while others claim it to be the work of the Hungarian - born Francisco José Debali ( Debály Ferenc József ), who composed the melody of the Uruguayan national anthem. What it is known for sure is that it was the Paraguayan composer Remberto Giménez who in 1933 arranged and developed the version of the national anthem which remains in use by Paraguay today. Though the national anthem has many verses, usually only the first verse followed by the chorus are sung on most occasions. Due to the song 's length, the introductory section and the latter half of the first verse are often omitted for brevity when the national anthem is played before a sporting event such as a soccer game. Lyrics Original ( Spanish ) Translation ( English ) Guarani Verse I A los pueblos de América, infausto tres centurias un cetro oprimió, mas un día soberbia surgiendo, `` ¡ Basta ! '' -- dijo, y el cetro rompió. Nuestros padres, lidiando grandiosos, ilustraron su gloria marcial ; y trozada la augusta diadema, enalzaron el gorro triunfal. ( repeat last two lines 2x ) Chorus Paraguayos, ¡ República o Muerte ! nuestro brío nos dio libertad ; ni opresores, ni siervos alientan donde reinan unión e igualdad. ( repeat last two lines, repeat last line 2x ) The peoples of the Americas, unfortunately, Were oppressed for three centuries by a scepter But one magnificent day surging forth, `` Enough ! '', it said, and the scepter was broken. Our fathers, grandiose in battle, Showed their martial glory ; And after smashing the august diadem, The triumphal cap was raised. ( repeat last two lines 2x ) Chorus Paraguayans : Republic or Death ! Our spirit gave us liberty Neither oppressors nor slaves exist Where union and equality reign. ( repeat last two lines, repeat last line 2x ) Tetã nguéra Amerikayguápe tetãma pytagua ojopy, sapy'ánte, japáy ñapu'ãvo, Ha'evéma !... ja'e ha opa. Ñande ru orairõ pu'akápe, verapy marã'ỹva oipyhy ; ha ojoka omondoho itasã, poguypópe oiko ko tetã. ( repeat last two lines 2x ) Chorus Joyke'y paraguái, iporãma, anive máramo ñañesũ ; mbarete ha tĩndy ndaijavéiri oĩhápe joja ha joayhu. ( repeat last two lines, repeat last line 2x ) Verse II Nueva Roma, la Patria ostentará dos caudillos de nombre y valer, que rivales -- cual Rómulo y Remo -- dividieron gobierno y poder. Largos años -- cual Febo entre nubes -- viose oculta la perla del Sud. Hoy un héroe grandioso aparece realzando su gloria y virtud... A new Rome, the Fatherland shall proudly display Two leaders of name and valor Who, rivals, like Romulus and Remus Divided government and power. These long years when, during which Phoebus in the clouds Saw darken the pearl of the South, Today a grand hero appears Raising up again her glory and virtue... Verse III Con aplauso la Europa y el Mundo la saludan, y aclaman también ; de heroísmo : baluarte invencible, de riquezas : magnífico Edén. Cuando entorno rugió la Discordia que otros Pueblos fatal devoró, paraguayos, el suelo sagrado con sus alas un ángel cubrió. Europe and the entire world to her Gives salutes and also acclaimations To that invincible bastion of heroism, The magnificent Eden of riches. ( But ) when discord rumbled all around Which fatally devoured other Peoples, Paraguayans, the sacred ground Was covered by an angel with its wings. Verse IV ¡ Oh ! cuán pura, de lauro ceñida, dulce Patria te ostentas así En tu enseña se ven los colores del zafiro, diamante y rubí. En tu escudo que el sol ilumina, bajo el gorro se mira el león. Doble imagen de fuertes y libres, y de glorias, recuerdo y blasón. Oh, how pure, of laurel girded Sweet Fatherland, in this manner you show yourself. In your ensign one sees the colors Of sapphire, diamond, and ruby. In your coat of arms, which the Sun illuminates, Under the cap, one sees the lion. Double image of the strong and the free, And of glories, the memory and crest. Verse V De la tumba del vil feudalismo se alza libre la Patria deidad ; opresores, ¡ doblad rodilla !, compatriotas, ¡ el Himno entonad ! Suene el grito : `` ¡ República o muerte ! '', nuestros pechos lo exhalen con fe, y sus ecos repitan los montes cual gigantes poniéndose en pie. From the tomb of vile feudalism The national Deity rises free ; Oppressors, bend your knees ! Compatriots, entone the hymn ! Sound the cry, `` Republic or death '' ! Our breasts exhale it with faith, And the mountains repeat its echoes Like giants arising in the land. Verse VI Libertad y justicia defiende nuestra Patria ; tiranos, ¡ oíd ! de sus fueros la carta sagrada su heroísmo sustenta en la lid. Contra el mundo, si el mundo se opone, Si intentare su prenda insultar, batallando vengar la sabremos o abrazo con ella expirar. Our Fatherland defends liberty and justice ; So tyrants : listen ! The laws in its sacred charter Will sustain its heroism in the fight. Against the world, if the world opposes it, If the world dares to insult her security, Battling to avenge we shall know her Or die embracing her. Verse VII Alza, oh Pueblo, tu espada esplendente que fulmina destellos de Dios, no hay más medio que libre o esclavo y un abismo divide a los dos. En las auras el Himno resuene, repitiendo con eco triunfal : ¡ a los libres perínclita gloria !, ¡ a la Patria laurel inmortal ! Arise, oh People, your splendid sword That strikes with sparkles of God, There is no middle ground between free or slave And an abyss divides the two. In the gentle breezes the Hymn resounds, Repeating with triumphal echo : For the free, renowned glory ! For the Fatherland, immortal laurel !
