Spanish Lyrics

Noble patria tu hermosa bandera
Expresi? de tu vida nos da:
Bajo el l?pido azul de tu cielo
Blanca y pura descansa la paz.
En la lucha tenaz de fecunda labor
Que enrojece del hombre la faz,
Conquistaron tus hijos, labriegos sencillos,
Eterno prestigio, estima y honor,
eterno prestigio, estima y honor.
?Salve oh tierra gentil!
?Salve oh madre de amor!
Cuando alguno pretenda tu gloria manchar,
Ver? a tu pueblo, valiente y viril
La tosca herramienta en arma trocar.
?Salve patria! tu pr?igo suelo
Dulce abrigo y sustento nos da;
Bajo el l?pido azul de tu cielo
?Vivan siempre el trabajo y la paz!

English Translation

Noble homeland, your beautiful flag
Express for us your life:
Under the limpid blue of your skies,
Peace reigns, white and pure.
In the tenacious battle of fruitful toil,
That brings a glow to men's faces,
Your sons, simple farm hands,
Gained eternal renown, esteem and honour,
Gained eternal renown, esteem and honour.
Hail, gentle country!
Hail, loving mother!
If anyone should attempt to besmirch your glory,
You will see your people, valiant and virile,
Exchange their rustic tools for weapons.
Hail, O homeland! Your prodigal soil
Gives us sweet sustenance and shelter.
Under the limpid blue of your sky,
May peaceful labour ever continue!
