We are free!

The official lyrics of the National Anthem Peru

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

On its summits may the Andes sustain
the two-color flag or standard,
may it announce to the centuries the effort
that being free, that being free,
that being free gave us forever.
Under its shadow may we live calmly
and, at birth of the sun in its summits,
may we all renew the great oath
that we rendered, that we rendered,
that we rendered to the God of Jacob,
that we rendered to the God of Jacob,
the God of Jacob…

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

The full lyrics of the National Anthem Peru

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

Now the roar of rough chains
that we had heard for three centuries of horror
from the free, at the sacred cry
that heard, that heard,
that the world heard astonished, ceased.
Everywhere the inflamed San Martín
“Freedom”, “Freedom” he pronounced;
and the Andes, rocking their base,
announced it, announced it,
announced it as well, in unison,
announced it as well, in unison,
as well, in unison…

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

With its influx the peoples woke up,
and like lighting ran the opinion;
from the Isthmus to the Tierra del Fuego,
from the Fuego, from the Fuego,
from the Fuego to the icy region.
Everyone vowed to break the link
that Nature denied to both worlds,
and break the sceptre that Spain
had reclined, had reclined,
had reclined, proudly, on both,
had reclined, proudly, on both,
proudly, on both…

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

Lima fulfilled this solemn vow,
and, severe, its anger showed
by throwing out the powerless tyrant,
who had been trying, who had been trying,
who had been trying to extend his oppression.
On its endeavor the shackles cracked,
and the furrows that it had repaired in itself
stirred up its hatred and vengeance,
inherited, inherited,
inherited from its Inca and Lord,
inherited from its Inca and Lord,
from its Inca and Lord…

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

Countrymen, may we see it a slave no more.
If for three centuries it moaned, humiliated,
forever may we swear it’d be free,
maintaining, maintaining,
maintaining its own splendor.
Our arms, until today unarmed,
be they always readying the cannon,
that some day the beaches of Iberia
will feel, will feel,
will feel the horror of its roar,
will feel the horror of its roar,
the horror of its roar…

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

May we arouse the jealousy of Spain
since it has a premonition, with want and furor,
that in a contest of great nations
our Fatherland, our Fatherland,
our Fatherland will enter in comparison.
On the list formed by these
we shall fill the line first,
ahead of the ambitious Iberian tyrant,
who devastated, who devastated,
who devastated all of America,
who devastated all of America,
devastated all of America…

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

On its summits may the Andes sustain
the two-color flag or standard,
may it announce to the centuries the effort
that being free, that being free,
that being free gave us forever.
Under its shadow may we live calmly
and, at birth of the sun in its summits,
may we all renew the great oath
that we rendered, that we rendered,
that we rendered to the God of Jacob,
that we rendered to the God of Jacob,
the God of Jacob…

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
And may the Sun renounce its light,
its light, its light,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
that the Fatherland lifted up to the Eternal.

The national anthem Peru was adopted in 1821.
It was written by José de La Torre Ugarte and composed by José Bernardo Alcedo.
