Flag of Peru - The Marcha de Banderas

The Marcha De Banderas

The Marcha de Banderas (Spanish: March of Flags) is a military march sung during the flag raising. It was created in 1897 by SM Jose Salas Libornio who said President Nicolás de Piérola, he disagreed with the indiscriminate interpretation of the National Anthem at all official events that were derived from civic events. In December of that year was officially recognized to be executed in any official act.

Arriba, arriba, arriba el Perú
y su enseña gloriosa inmortal,
llevad en alto siempre
la bandera nacional.
Tal la llevaron con gloria y honor,
héroes peruanos de invencible ardor.
Arriba, arriba siempre la bandera nacional.
Es la bandera del Perú,
de blanco y rojo color,
cual llamarada de amor,
que en Ayacucho y en Junín
victoriosa amaneció con el
sol de la Libertad
Todo Peruano ha de sentir,
vibrar en su corazon
amor al patrio pendón,
y bajo sus pliegues luchar,
y si fuera menester
por sus lauros y honor morir
Long live, long live, long live Peru
and to its glorious immortal ensign
always carried aloft
is the national flag.
They carry it with glory and honor,
Peruvian heroes with invincible ardor.
Going up, up whenever, the national flag.
This is the flag of Peru,
of white and red in color,
as a flame of love,
in Ayacucho and Junín
it dawned victorious with the
Sun of Liberty
Every Peruvian has to feel
his heart vibrating,
for love for the fatherland's flag
and fight under its folds,
and if ever needed
by their laurels and honor, to die.

In all occasions today only 3 out of 4 verses of this flag anthem are sung instead.
