| Hymne :
| ¡ Oid mortales ! el grito sagrado:
¡ Libertad, Libertad, Libertad !
Oid el ruido de rotas cadenas :
Ved en trono a la noble Igualdad.
¡ Ya su trono dignísimo abrieron
Las provincias unidas del Sud !
Y los libres del mundo responden :
¡ Al Gran Pueblo Argentino Salud !
(répéter)
Y los libres del mundo responden :
¡ Al Gran Pueblo Argentino Salud !
(répéter les deux dernières lignes)
REFRAIN :
Sean eternos los laureles
Que supimos conseguir.
Coronados de gloria vivamos
O juremos con gloria morir.
(répéter trois fois)
Paroles: Vincente López y Planes, 1813.
