Guatemala National Anthem lyrics:
Guatemala Feliz
Fortunate Guatemala! May your altars
Never be profaned by cruel men.
May there never be slaves who submit to their
yoke,
Or tyrants who deride you.
If tomorrow your sacred soil
Should be threatened by foreign invasion,
Your fair flag, flying freely in the wind,
Will call to you: Conquer or die.
Your fair flag, flying freely in the wind,
Will call to you: Conquer or die.
For your people, with heart and soul,
Would prefer death to slavery.
