Hi, Im looking for information about the national anthem of Venezuela.

When was the national anthem of Venezuela officially adopted?

Please add any valuable information like links to anthem’s mp3, video, lyrics, free sheet music etc.

The National anthem of Venezuela is “Gloria al bravo pueblo” which means in English “Glory to the Brave People”.

Venezuela’s anthem lyrics were written by Vicente SALIAS and the music was written by Juan Jose LANDAETA.

Chorus:

Glory to the brave people

who shook off the yoke,

Respecting the law,

virtue and honour.

(repeat all)

ֲ

1

ג€œDown with chains!ג€ (2x)

The gentleman yelled; (2x)

And the poor man in his hovel

For Freedom implored.

Upon this holy name

Trembled in great dread

The vile selfishness

That had once prevailed.

(repeat last four lines)

(repeat last two lines)

ֲ

Chorus

 

2

Letג€™s scream out aloud: (2x)

“Death to oppression!” (2x)

Oh, loyal countrymen:

Strength is in unity;

And from the Empyrean

The Supreme Author

A sublime spirit

To the people blew.

(repeat last four lines)

(repeat last two lines)

ֲ

Chorus

 

3

United by bonds (2x)

That Heaven has formed, (2x)

The entire America

Exists as a Nation;

And if ever despotism

Raises again its voice,

Then follow the example

That Caracas gave.

(repeat last four lines)

(repeat last two lines)

 

Chorus
