Tinajita de Barro

There's a clay jar in my heart
I wear decorations made of corn husks from the May harvest
I wear decorations made of corn husks from the May harvest
I also wear a traditional shirt
Representing the folklore
I also wear a traditional shirt
Representing the folklore

I'm made of cornmeal
I'm Nicaraguan by the grace of God
I'm made of corn, the immortal grain of our land
I'm a gourd, a satchel, a machete, sandals, and cacao
I'm a gourd, a satchel, a machete, sandals, and cacao

Feathers of the guard bird
The colors of love
I'm the great and gentle bird
I represent this nation
I'm the great and gentle bird
I represent this nation

My face carries the beauty
Of an angelic flower
And its unmistakable scent
Is always in my soul
And its unmistakable scent
Is always in my soul
