"¡Salve, Oh Patria!" ("We Salute You, Our Homeland") is the national anthem of Ecuador. The lyrics were written in 1865 by the poet Juan León Mera, under request of the Ecuadorian Senate; the music was composed by Antonio Neumane. However, the anthem was not officially adopted by the Congress until September 29, 1948.
The anthem consists of a chorus and six verses, of which only the second verse and the chorus (before and after the verse) are sung.
[edit] Spanish lyrics
- Coro
- ¡Salve, Oh Patria, mil veces! ¡Oh Patria,
- gloria a ti! ¡Gloria a ti!
- Ya tu pecho, tu pecho, rebosa
- Gozo y paz ya tu pecho rebosa;
- Y tu frente, tu frente radiosa
- Más que el sol contemplamos lucir,
- Y tu frente, tu frente radiosa
- Más que el sol contemplamos lucir.
- 2da Estrofa
- Los primeros los hijos del suelo
- Que soberbio, el Pichincha decora
- Te aclamaron por siempre señora
- Y vertieron su sangre por ti.
- Dios miró y aceptó el holocausto
- Y esa sangre fue germen fecundo
- De otros héroes que atónito el mundo
- Vió en tu torno a millares surgir.
- a millares surgir,
- a millares surgir.
- Coro

- O homeland, we greet you a thousand times!
- Glory be to you,oh homeland glory be to you!
- Your breast overflows with joy and peace
- And see your radiant face shining
- (repeat)
- more brightly than the sun.(repeat this line)
- 2nd verse
- The worthy sons of the soil
- Who magnificently adorned Pichincha,
- They always declared you as their sovereign lady
- And shed their blood for you.
- God observed and accepted that sacrifice,
- And this blood was the prolific seed
- Of other heroes who amazed the world,
- And in turn, of thousands arising around you.
- Arising in thousands around you,
- Arising in thousands around you.
