CHORUS

At last we reached victory

In the joyous field of the union;

With ardent fires of glory

A new nation is alight. (Repeat last 2 lines.)

 

It is necessary to cover with a veil

The past times of Calvary and cross;

Let now the blue skies be adorned with

The splendid light of the concord.

 

Progress caresses your path.

To the rhythm of a sublime song,

You see both your seas roar at your feet

Giving you a path to your noble mission.

 

(Chorus)

 

In your soil covered with flowers

To the kisses of the warm clouds of dust,

Warrior roars have ceased;

Only fraternal love reigns.

 

Ahead the shovel and pick,

At work without any more dilation,

and we will be as such at work and gala

of this fruitful world of Columbus.

 

(Chorus)
