Hail to thee, Nicaragua! On thy land

roars the voice of the cannon no more,

nor does the blood of brothers now stain

thy glorious bicolor banner.

 

Let us shine beautifully in thy sky,

and nothing dim thine immortal glory,

for work is thy well earned laurel

and honor is thy triumphal emblem!
