- CHORUS: :Let us salute the motherland, :Proud to be called her children. :To her well-being let us swear :Boldly and unceasingly to devote our lives. :(repeat) :Devote our lives! (repeat 4 times) :Of peace enjoyed in perfect happiness, :El Salvador has always nobly dreamed. :To achieve this has been her eternal proposition, :To keep it, her greatest glory. :With inviolable faith, she eagerly follows :The way of progress :In order to fulfil her high destiny :And achieve a happy future. :A stern barrier protects her :Against the clash of vile disloyalty, :Ever since the day when her lofty banner, :In letters of blood, wrote "Freedom", :Wrote "Freedom", wrote "Freedom". :CHORUS :Freedom is her dogma and her guide; :A thousand times she has defended it, :And as many times has she repelled :The hateful power of atrocious tyranny. :Her history has been bloody and sad, :Yet at the same time sublime and brilliant, :A source of legitimate glory :And a great lesson in Spartan pride. :Her innate bravery shall not waver: :In every man there is an immortal hero :Who knows how to maintain the level :Of the proverbial valour of old. :CHORUS :All are self-denying and faithful :To the tradition of warlike ardour :With which they have always reaped fame :By saving the motherland's honour. :To respect the rights of others :And base her actions on right and justice :Is for her, without infamous intrigue, :The constant and most firm ambition. :And in following this line she persists, :Dedicating her tenacious efforts :In giving hard battle for battle; :Her happiness is found in peace. :CHORUS
