National Anthem of El Salvador
[1] In 1866, at the initiative of doctor Francisco Dueñas, who at the time was President of the Republic, the first national anthem of El Salvador was created by Cuban doctor Tomás M. Muñoz, who wrote the lyrics, and Salvadoran musician Rafael Orozco, who composed the music.
This national anthem was legally adopted through Executive Agreement of 8 October 1866, being published in the state newspaper El Constitucional No.
Su memoria honoremos rendidos Aclamemos sus glorias y hazañas, Y resuene en las altas montañas El placer de esta libre Nacion.
In the blissful homeland resounds A blessed song of the free: She never, to the cursed stigma Of vile oppression, surrendered.
Joyfully beholding, in Heaven Her splendid star raised, From the Union in the beautiful Pleiad She will give admiration to the worlds.
Just enclose your bosom, democrats Sweet Fatherland, with just one nuance; You freely breathe happily Equality grew on your soil.
The generous extends his hand to you And calls you a strong Republic, A true God who provides you fortune All the goods the earth created.
If the peoples of America one day Moaned under the yoke of Iberia, Heroes had to finally shake off From their forehead such a clumsy disgrace.
Let us honour their memory surrendered Let us acclaim their glories and deeds, And let resonate in the high mountains The pleasure of this free Nation.
Later, in 1879, at the initiative of then president Rafael Zaldívar, the current National Anthem of El Salvador would be created by Cañas and Aberle as authors of its lyrics and music, respectively.
The composition of the lyrics and music of this national anthem, which was previously officially released on 2 May 1891, was the responsibility of Italian artist Césare Georgi Vélez.
[4] General Ezeta was overthrown in a coup d'état executed in 1894, and after his fall, the national anthem made by Cañas and Aberle was sung again in 1879, although it lacked official recognition.
226, Volume 161, of 11 December 1953,[5][2] through which the Legislative Assembly, at the request of the Salvadoran Academy of History [es], officially recognised as the national anthem of El Salvador the anthem written and composed by Cañas and Aberle, respectively, and solemnly premiered on 15 September 1879 in the esplanade of the old National Palace of El Salvador, whose civic ceremony was attended by members of the presidential cabinet of that time.
[3]: 42–43 Immediately, and in the spacious patio of the Palace, sung by all the youth of the Colleges and schools of this Capital was the beautiful patriotic anthem composed by Mr. Juan J. Cañas and Mr. Juan Aberle, both artists of notable merit, the first of the lyrics of the anthem, and the second of the music.
Said hymn composed for 15 September was premiered with the accompaniment of the military band and deserved general approval.[2]: pt.
[citation needed] The National Anthem of El Salvador is made up of a chorus and three stanzas, although the last two have not been sung for many years, as a full performance can take more than four minutes to complete.
Todos son abnegados, y fieles Al prestigio del bélico ardor Con que siempre segaron laureles De la patria salvando el honor.
[ˈko.ɾo] Chorus: 𝄆 Let us salute the fatherland, proud Of being able to be called its children And let us swear our life, spirited, To consecrate its good without rest.
Of peace in supreme bliss, Always noble El Salvador dreamt; Obtaining it was her eternal challenge, Keeping it is her greatest glory.
An iron barrier protects her Against the clash of vile disloyalty, Since the day that on her high flag With her blood she wrote "LIBERTY!"
Her innate bravery does not waver, In each man there is an immortal hero Who will know how to keep to the merit Of its ancient proverbial value.
All are selfless, and faithful To the prestige of warlike ardour With which they always reaped glories Saving the honour of the fatherland.
Chorus On 1 September 2009, during the inauguration of Civic Month in Suchitoto, Cuscatlán, the National Anthem was performed in Nawat by the Doctor Mario Calvo Marroquín School Centre Choir from Izalco, Sonsonate.
