From the first verse to Peru’s previous national anthem:
For a long time the oppressed Peruvian
Dragged the ominous chain;
Condemned to cruel servitude
He moaned for a long time in silence.
But as soon as the sacred cry of
“Freedom!” was heard on the coasts,
He shook off the indolence of slavery,
He raised his humiliated neck…
Cue Eddie Izzard routine: we’d like to hear the lyrics from the LOSING song (“No, wait, go back one…”). (from Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal).
