The explorers found that the local Indians wore many silver ornaments and assumed that the area was rich in silver, so they named the river La Plata and called the area La Plata. The Spanish colonial rulers later changed the La Plata district into a province, and on July 9, 1816, the La Plata province declared its independence and officially named the country Argentina. The word "Argentina" is of Latin origin, which not only refers to silver in the specific sense, but also means "money" and "wealth". This vast land does not produce silver, but has a fertile soil, rich grasslands, good climate, which makes Argentina become "the world's granary and meat warehouse", wealth rolled in. Therefore, it is only fitting to call this country "Argentina".

Lyrics to the effect: The living people of the earth! Hear the sacred cry: Freedom, freedom, freedom! The chains of slavery are broken, broken; Freedom ascends to the throne. The throne full of honor is built; Victory goes to the Confederate provinces! The free peoples of the world rejoice: Blessed be the great nation Argentina! Blessed be the great nation Argentina!
The newborn heroes were in high spirits, as majestic as the gods of war. Their breasts are full of pride, and their strides make the earth tremble. The Incas are awakening from their graves, rekindling their passion and encouraging their sons and daughters to rebuild the fame of their former homeland, the fame of their former homeland!
The cliffs crumbled, the walls fell, and rumbled to the heavens; cries of vengeance and war arose, and everywhere there was a frenzy. Ferocious tyrants harboring jealousy, spitting venom with a foul stench, hand-ho waving blood-stained military flags, provoking wars, cruelty and inhumanity, provoking wars, cruelty and inhumanity!
Argentines, the invaders challenge you, they are vile and arrogant, singing wildly and laughing, trampling on our land, will eventually fail, doomed. Brave men who swore a generous oath together, who ran to the battlefield to thrash this bloodthirsty pack of tigers and wolves for the sake of freedom, strong-willed as iron walls, strong-willed as iron walls, strong-willed as iron walls, strong-willed as iron walls!
Brave Argentines ran to the reins, full of spirit and fighting spirit; the battle cry rumbled with the sound of artillery, resounding on the battlefields of the south. Buenos Aires is the vanguard of the resistance, leading the famous Confederate cities, who will wave their strong arms and hang the haughty Iberian lions, hang the haughty Iberian lions!
The God of Victory spreads his glorious wings and shelters the Argentine warriors. The tyrant saw the shit and fled with his tail between his legs. He surrendered by handing over his flag and arms, winning the spoils of war and crediting freedom. The people are inspired by the glorious colored wings, and they are bold and proud, and they raise their eyebrows!
From the South Pole to the North Pole resounds the trumpet, and transmits the fame, which in the name of the Americas calls to the people again and again, "Hear, my people, hear: a throne full of honor has been built, and victory goes to the Confederacy of the Southern Provinces! The free peoples of the world rejoice: Blessed be the great nation of Argentina! Blessed be the great nation of Argentina!
Remember how the laurels were won, and let them last forever! We have lived with honor and we shall die with honor.
