The "Paraguayan National Anthem" (Himno Nacional Paraguayo) was officially adopted on 20 May 1846. The lyrics were written by Francisco Acuña de Figueroa under the presidency of Carlos Antonio López, who at the time delegated Bernardo Jovellanos and Anastasio González to ask Figueroa to write the anthem. The original composer of the song remains unclear, although the music is often attributed to Francesco Casale. Remberto Giménez rearranged the melody in 1933.
The author of the lyrics also wrote the lyrics to the "Uruguayan National Anthem".
