- tu bandera, tu bandera es un lampo
- de cielo por un bloque,
- por un bloque de nieve cruzado;
-
- y se ven en su fondo sagrado
- cinco estrellas de palido azul;
- en tu emblema que un mar rumoroso
- con sus ondas bravias escuda,
- de un volcan,
-
- de un volcan tras la coma desnuda
- hay un astro,
- hay un astro de nidita luz.

- india, virgen y hermosa dormias
- de tus mares al canto sonoro,
- quando echada en tus cuencas de
- oro el audaz navegante te hallo;
-
- y al mirar tu belleza extasiado al
- influjo ideal de tu encanto,
- la orla azul de tu esplendido
- manto con su beso
- de amor consagro.
- as your standard, as your standard
- serves a strip of cloudless azure,
- which in twain is cut,
- which in twain is cut
- by a band that snows besprinkle;
-
- in whose sacred abysses there
- twinkle five pale stars
- lit with softest rays of blue.
-
- and in your shield,
- that a strident sea is guarding
- with the bulwark
- of its savage billows' might,
-
- a volcano stands,
- a volcano stands,
- from whose lonely summit's height
- comes the beacon clear,
-
-
- comes the beacon clear,
- of a star that flashes there.

-
- india, like a fair maid you were
- sleeping to the sound
- of the ocean unresting;
- within the cradle of your golden
- valleys nesting,
- when the bold navigator
- sighted you, and in the spell
- of your potent charms a victim,
- by all the marvels of your
- loveliness enchanted,
-
- devoutly a kiss loveladen
- he implanted on your mantle's
- rich margin of blue.
