Words by: Francisco Esteban Acuña de Figueroa
Music by: Francisco José Debali
Adopted: 1846, officially declared 1934

Paraguay's anthem is a classic example of a "Latin American epic anthem". The seven verses of the anthem also resemble other nation's anthems of this type, for example, the first three verses of Paraguay's anthem, recalling its history and specific events, is very similar to the theme of Honduras' anthem, whereas the fourth verse which praises the national symbols, and the last three verses, which are a call to patriotism, are common themes in these type of anthems.

The anthem was adopted in 1846 and was officially declared as the national anthem in 1934. The lyricist and composer also created Uruguay's anthem.
