The anthem of Venezuela Lyrics: Vedio
Glory to the brave people
who shook off the yoke,
Respecting the law,
virtue and honour.
“Down with chains!”
The Lord yelled;
And the poor man in his hovel
For Freedom implored.
Upon this holy name
Trembled in great dread
The vile selfishness
That had once prevailed.
Let’s scream out aloud:
“Death to oppression!”
Oh, loyal countrymen:
Strength is in unity;
And from the Empyrean
The Supreme Author
A sublime spirit
To the people blew.
United by bonds
That Heaven has formed,
The entire America
Exists as a Nation;
And if ever despotism
Raises again its voice,
Then follow the example
That Caracas gave.
