National Anthem of Honduras

CHORUS
Your flag is a splendor of sky
Crossed with a band of snow;
And there can be seen, in its sacred depths,
(repeat)
Five pale blue stars.
In your emblem, which a rough sea
With its wild waves protects,
Behind the bare summit of a volcano,
(repeat)
A star brightly shines.
(repeat)

Like an Indian maiden you were sleeping,
Lulled by the resonant song of your seas,
When, set in your golden valleys,
The bold navigator found you;
And on seeing, enraptured, your beauty,
And feeling your enchantment,
He dedicated a kiss of love to the blue hen
Of your splendid mantle.

CHORUS

To guard this sacred emblem
We shall march, oh fatherland, to our death;
Our death will be honored
If we die thinking of your love.
Having defended your holy flag,
And shrouded in its glorious folds,
Many, Honduras, shall die for you,
But all shall fall in honour.

CHORUS
