Himno Nacional de Honduras

Your flag, your flag is a flash of sky
Across a block, across a block of crossed snow
And in its sacred background, you can see
Five stars of pale blue
In your emblem that the roaring sea
With its fierce waves shields
From a volcano, from a volcano behind the bare peak
There’s a star, there’s a star of clear light

Virgin and beautiful India, you slept
To the sound of your seas
When lying in your golden basins
The daring navigator found you
And gazing at your beauty, entranced
Under the ideal influence of your charm
The blue fringe of your splendid mantle
With its kiss of love consecrated

From a land where the sun rises
Beyond the blue Atlantic
That man who had dreamed of you
Launched himself into the sea in search of you
When you raised your pale brow
In the lively anxiety of your longing
Under the gentle dome of your sky
An unfamiliar banner was already floating

It was useless for your beloved Indian
To prepare for battle in anger
Because wrapped in Lempira's blood
He sank into the deep night
And from the epic feat, in memory
The legend has only kept
The unknown place of a tomb
And the stern profile of a rock

For three centuries your children heard
The imperious command of the master
For three centuries your useless claim
Was lost in the blue atmosphere
But one day, glory your ear
Perceived, powerful and distant
That far away, over the Atlantic
An indignant lion roared

It was France, the free, the heroic
That in its centuries-long dream slept
Awakening furious to life
At the manly call of Danton
It was France, that sent to death
The head of the consecrated King
And that proudly raised beside it
The Altar of the Goddess Reason

You too, oh my homeland, rose up
From your servile and deep dream
You too taught the world
To shatter the infamous chain
And on your blessed soil, behind the high
Hair of the wild mountain
Like a bird of black plumage
The fleeting colony was lost

To guard that divine emblem
We will march, oh Homeland, to death
Generous will be our fate
If we die thinking of your love
Defending your holy flag
And in your glorious folds covered
There will be many, oh Honduras, your dead
But all will fall with honor

Your flag, your flag is a flash of sky
Across a block, across a block of crossed snow
And in its sacred background, you can see
Five stars of pale blue
In your emblem that the roaring sea
With its fierce waves shields
From a volcano, from a volcano behind the bare peak
There’s a star, there’s a star of clear light
