Gloria al bravo pueblo<\/p>

que el yugo lanz\u00f3<\/p>

la Ley respetando<\/p>

la virtud y honor.<\/p>

Strophe I<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Abajo cadenas<\/p>

gritaba el se\u00f1or<\/p>

y el pobre en su choza<\/p>

libertad pidi\u00f3<\/p>

a este santo nombre<\/p>

tembl\u00f3 de pavor<\/p>

el vil ego\u00edsmo<\/p>

que otra vez triunf\u00f3.<\/p>

Strophe II<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Gritemos con br\u00edo<\/p>

Muera la opresi\u00f3n<\/p>

Compatriotas fieles,<\/p>

la fuerza es la uni\u00f3n;<\/p>

y desde el Emp\u00edreo<\/p>

el Supremo Autor,<\/p>

un sublime aliento<\/p>

al pueblo infundi\u00f3.<\/p>

Strophe III<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Unida con lazos<\/p>

que el cielo form\u00f3<\/p>

\u00a1En surcos de dolores<\/p>

El bien germina ya!<\/p>

\u00a1Ces\u00f3 la horrible noche!<\/p>

La libertad sublime<\/p>

Derrama las auroras<\/p>

De su invencible luz.<\/p>

La humanidad entera,<\/p>

Que entre cadenas gime,<\/p>

Comprende las palabras<\/p>

Del que muri\u00f3 en la cruz.<\/p>

Strophe II<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00a1Independencia! grita<\/p>

El mundo americano;<\/p>

Se ba\u00f1a en sangre de h\u00e9roes<\/p>

La tierra de Col\u00f3n.<\/p>

\u00abEl rey no es soberano\u00bb,<\/p>

Resuena, y los que sufren<\/p>

Bendicen su pasi\u00f3n.<\/p>

Strophe III<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

El Orinoco el cauce<\/p>

Se colma de despojos;<\/p>

De sangre y llanto y un r\u00edo<\/p>

Se mira all\u00ed correr.<\/p>

En B\u00e1rbula no saben<\/p>

Las almas ni los ojos<\/p>

Si admiraci\u00f3n o espanto<\/p>

Sentir o padecer.<\/p>
