National Anthem

CORO:
Chocoan people by the cry
of ¨Long Live Liberty,¨
history has written
an immortal page. (bis)

I
Carrasquilla and Mallarino, Holguín, Conto and Jorge Isaacs,
are your most glorious sons, intellectuals with no pair.
And in the freedom road Buch, Montalvo and many more,
immortalized their names which history adopts now.

CORO:
Chocoan people by the cry
of ¨Long Live Liberty,¨
history has written
an immortal page. (bis)

II
Your three secular rivers: Atrato, San Juan, Baudó,
your two oceans, your channels, by Napipí and Truandó,
open progress routes, of hope and promising,
you are the richest land, of our rich nation.

CORO:
Chocoan people by the cry
of ¨Long Live Liberty,¨
history has written
an immortal page. (bis)

III
Gold you have and platinum, Good and fertile lands,
virgin jungles which carry, flowers, fruits and woods.
And an anxious youth of early and clear light
which outlast within your hands the shovel, the book and the cross

The hymn of the current Department of Chocó was composed (lyrics and music),
by the Chocoan artist Miguel Vicente Garrido.
