National Anthem of Paraguay - Himno Nacional Paraguayo - Ñane Retã Purahéi Guasu (Bilingual)

The national anthem of the Republic of Paraguay.

Lyrics in Spanish:
A los pueblos de América, infausto
tres centurias un cetro oprimió,
mas un día soberbia surgiendo,
"¡Basta!" —dijo, y el cetro rompió.
Nuestros padres, lidiando grandiosos,
ilustraron su gloria marcial;
y trozada la augusta diadema,
enalzaron el gorro triunfal.
Y trozada la augusta diadema,
enalzaron el gorro triunfal.
Paraguayos, ¡República o Muerte!
nuestro brío nos dio libertad;
ni opresores, ni siervos alientan
donde reinan unión e igualdad.
Ni opresores, ni siervos alientan
donde reinan unión e igualdad.
Unión e igualdad.
Unión e igualdad.

Lyrics in Guarani:
Tetã nguéra Amerikayguápe
tetãma pytagua ojopy,
sapy'ánte, japáy ñapu'ãvo,
¡Ha’evéma! ja’e ha opa.
Ñande ru orairõ pu'akápe,
verapy marã'ỹva oipyhy;
ha ojoka omondoho itasã,
poguypópe oiko ko tetã.
Ha ojoka omondoho itasã,
poguypópe oiko ko tetã.
Joyke'y paraguái, iporãma,
anive máramo ñañesũ;
mbarete ha tĩndy ndaijavéiri
oĩhápe joja ha joayhu.
Mbarete ha tĩndy ndaijavéiri
oĩhápe joja ha joayhu.
Joja ha joayhu.
Joja ha joayhu.

English Translation:
The peoples of the Americas, unfortunately,
Were oppressed for three centuries by a scepter
But one magnificent day surging forth,
"Enough!", it said, and the scepter was broken.
Our fathers, grandiose in battle,
Showed their martial glory;
And after smashing the august diadem,
The triumphal cap was raised.
And after smashing the august diadem,
The triumphal cap was raised.
Paraguayans: Republic or Death!
Our spirit gave us liberty
Neither oppressors nor slaves exist
Where union and equality reign.
Neither oppressors nor slaves exist
Where union and equality reign.
Where union and equality reign.
