Letter of the Peruvian National Anthem for children

Chorus

We are free! Let's always know it!

and before denying its lights the sun,

that we miss the solemn vow

that the fatherland to the eternal rose.

Stanza I

Long time the oppressed Peruvian

the ominous chain dragged,

condemned to a cruel servitude

long time silently moaned.

But just the sacred cry

freedom! on its shores it was heard,

the indolence of slave shakes,

the humiliated cervix lifted.

Stanza II

Already the rumble of hoarse chains

that heard three centuries of horror

of the free, to the sacred cry

that heard the world astonished, ceased.

Everywhere San Martin inflamed,

freedom! freedom! pronounced

and rocking its base the Andes, en also enunciated it to a voice.

Stanza III

With its influence the peoples awaken

and which ray ran the opinion,

from the Isthmus to the land of fire,

from the fire to the frozen region.

Everyone swears to break the link,

that Natura both worlds denied,

and break that scepter that Spain

proudly reclined in both.

Stanza IV

Lima fulfills his solemn vow,

and severe his anger showed,

to the powerful tyrant throwing,

that he tried to lengthen his oppression.

The irons

and the furrows that he repaired did jump to his effort

the hatred and revenge

he inherited from his Inca and lord.

Stanza V

Compatriots, no more seeing her as a slave

if humiliated for three centuries she moaned,

forever swore her free,

keeping her own splendor.

Our arms until today unarmed,

are always priming the cannon,

that one day the beaches of Iberia,

will feel the terror of their roar.

Verse VI

Let us excite the jealousy of Spain

for it senses with diminution and fury,

that in competition of great nations

our country will come in comparison.

In the list of these forms

we will fill the line first,

that the ambitious iberian tyrant,

that the whole America ravaged.

Verse VII

At its summit the Andes hold

the flag or bicolor flag,

that to the centuries announce the effort,

that being free always gave us.

In his shadow we live in peace,

and when the sun rises from its summits,

let us renew the great oath

that we surrender to the God of Jacob.
