Pure, Chile, is your blue sky

Pure breezes cross you as well

And your flower-embroidered fields

Are the happy copy of Eden

Majestic is the white colored mountain

That was given to you as a bastion by the Lord

That was given to you as a bastion by the Lord

And that sea that quietly washes your shore

Promises you a future splendor

And that sea that quietly washes your shore

Promises you a future splendor

 

Chorus

Sweet Fatherland accept the vows

With which Chile swore at your altars

Either the tomb of the free you will be

Or the refuge against oppression

Either the tomb of the free you will be

Or the refuge against oppression

Either the tomb of the free you will be

Or the refuge against oppression

Or the refuge against oppression

Or the refuge against oppression
