Estrofa II:
Nunca el sol de los libres su rayo
Niegue airado a tu bóveda azul,
Ese sol esplendente de Mayo
Que a tu gloria ha prestado su luz.
Stanza II:
Never the free rays of the sun
Angrily deny your blue dome,
That shining sun of May
That to your glory has provided light.
Estrofa III:
Él alumbre tu senda de flores,
Él ¡oh Patria! Otros triunfos te dé,
Y no logren los ciegos traidores
Nunca, nunca su luz obtener.
Stanza III:
He illuminates your path with flowers
He, oh Fatherland! Other triumphs gives to you,
And the blind traitors fail
Never, ever get its light.
