The "Peronist March" (Spanish: Marcha Peronista) is the anthem of the Peronist movement and the official song of the Justicialist Party of Argentina, previously known as the Peronist Party.[1] Originally composed as a football club anthem by Juan Raimundo Streiff in the 1930s,[2] its current lyrics, alluding to President Juan Domingo Perón and the movement he led and founded, were written by education minister Oscar Ivanissevich in 1948 and first recorded by Hugo del Carril in 1949.[3]

Since its adoption by the Peronist movement, it has been re-recorded in various styles, such as tango and folk, and more contemporary versions in cumbia and rock.[4] There is also a version dedicated to Eva Perón, called "Evita Capitana" ("Captain Evita"), which was the official anthem of the Female Peronist Party and has become popular among Peronist feminists.[5][6] In addition, a third version exists called "Marcha Perón-Ibáñez" ("Perón-Ibáñez March"), which references the then President of Chile, Carlos Ibáñez del Campo and the friendship between the two leaders and countries. The lyrics to this version were written by Alberto Marino and performed by Héctor Ángel Benedetti in 1953.[7]

Lyrics

Los muchachos peronistas
todos unidos triunfaremos
y como siempre daremos
un grito de corazón:

¡Viva Perón! ¡Viva Perón!

Por ese gran argentino
que se supo conquistar
a la gran masa del pueblo
combatiendo al capital.

Coro:
Perón, Perón, ¡qué grande sos!
Mi general, ¡cuánto valés!
Perón, Perón, gran conductor,
sos el primer trabajador!

Por los principios sociales
que Perón ha establecido,
el pueblo entero está unido
y grita de corazón:

¡Viva Perón! ¡Viva Perón!

Por ese gran argentino
que trabajó sin cesar
para que reine en el pueblo
el amor y la igualdad.

Coro

Imitemos el ejemplo
de este varón argentino
y siguiendo su camino
gritemos de corazón:

¡Viva Perón! ¡Viva Perón!

Porque la Argentina grande
con que San Martín soñó
es la realidad efectiva
que debemos a Perón.

Coro

The Peronist youths
All united we'll triumph
And as always we will
Sing our hearts out:

Long live Perón! Long live Perón!

For that great Argentine
Who knew how to captivate
The great masses of people
Fighting against capital.

Chorus:
Perón, Perón, how great you are!
My general, how worthy you are!
Perón, Perón, our great leader,
You are the first worker!

Because of the social principles
That Perón has established,
The people are united
And singing their hearts out:

Long live Perón! Long live Perón!

Because of that great Argentine
Who worked tirelessly
So that among the people may reign
Love and equality.

Chorus

Let us imitate the example
Of this Argentine Man
And following his path
Let us sing our hearts out:

Long live Perón! Long live Perón!

Because that great Argentina
That San Martín dreamed of
Is the effective reality
That we owe to Perón.

Chorus
