Before we break the solemn vow which the homeland lifted up to the Eternal. I former official sung verse For a long time the oppressed Peruvian the ominous chain he dragged Condemned to a cruel servitude for a long time, for a long time for a long time he quietly moaned But as soon as the sacred cry Freedom!
