Venezuela



This is Venezuela's national anthem CHORUS: Glory to the brave nation Which shook off the yoke, Respecting law, virtue and honour.

"Off with the chains! Off with the chains!" Cried the Lord, cried the Lord, And the poor man in his hovel Implored freedom. At this holy name, there trembled The vile selfishness that had triumphed, The vile selfishness that had triumphed.

CHORUS

Let's cry out aloud: Down with oppression! Faithful countrymen, your strength Lies in your unity; And from the heavens The supreme Creator Breathed a sublime spirit Into the nation.

CHORUS

United by bonds Made by heaven, All America exists As a Nation; And if tyranny Raises its voice, Follow the example Given by Caracas
