Honduran National Anthem - Himno Nacional de Honduras

[coro:]Tu bandera, tu banderaEs un lampo de cieloPor un bloque, por un bloqueDe nieve cruzado;Y se ven en su fondo sagradoCinco estrellas de pálido azul;En tu emblema que mar rumorosoCon sus ondas bravías escuda,De un volcán, de un volcánTras la cima desnudaHay un astro, hay un astroDe nítida luz.

India, virgen y hermosa dormíasDe tus mares al canto sonoro,Cuando echada en tus cuencas de oroEl audaz navegante te halló;Y al mirar tu belleza extasiadoAl influjo ideal de tu encanto,La orla azul de tu espléndido mantoCon su beso de amor consagró.

[coro]

De un país donde el sol se levanta,Mas allá del Atlante azulado,Aquel hombre que te había soñadoY en tu busca a la mar se lanzó.Cuando erguiste la pálida frente,En la viva ansiedad de tu anhelo,Bajo el dombo gentil de tu cieloYa flotaba un extraño pendón.

[coro]

Era inutil que el indio tu amadoSe aprestara a la lucha con ira,Porque envuelto en su sangre Lempira,En la noche profunda se hundió;Y de la épica hazaña, en memoria,La leyenda tan sólo ha guardadoDe un sepulcro el lugar ignoradoY el severo perfil de un peñón.

[coro]

Por tres siglos tus hijos oyeronEl mandato imperioso del amo;Por tres siglos tu inútil reclamoEn la atmosfera azul se perdió;Pero un día gloria tu oídoPercibió, poderoso y distante,Que allá lejos, por sobre el Atlante,Indignado rugía un León.

[coro]

Era Francia, la libre, la heroica,Que en su sueño de siglos dormidaDespertaba iracunda a la vidaAl reclamo viril de Dantón:Era Francia, que enviaba a la muerteLa cabeza del Rey consagrado,Y que alzaba soberbia a su lado,El Altar de la Diosa razón.

[coro]

Tú también, ¡oh mi patria!, te alzasteDe tu sueño servil y profundo;Tú también enseñastes al mundoDestrozado el infame eslabón.Y en tu suelo bendito, tras la altaCabellera de monte salvaje,Como un ave de negro plumaje,La colonia fugaz se perdió

[coro]

Por guardar ese emblema divino,Marcharemos Oh Patria a la muerte,Generosa será nuestra suerte,Si morimos pensando en tu amor.Defendiendo tu santa banderaY en tus pliegues gloriosos cubiertos,Serán muchos, Oh Honduras tus muertos,Pero todos caerán con honor.

[coro]

Honduran National Anthem

Your flag, your flagis a piece of skycrossed, oh crossedby a dash of snow.And on its hallowed ground can be seenfive stars of a pale blue.On your crest, that a clamorous seashields with its roaring waves.Beyond a volcano, beyond a volcanoits top baredthere's a star, there's a starof radiant light.

Indian, virgin and beautiful you sleptto the resounding chants of your sea,when, lying in your golden banksthe bold navogator found you,and awe-struck at beholding your beautyunder the perfect thrall of your charm,the blue hem of your splendid capesanctified with his kiss of love.

[Choir]

Of a country where the sun rises,beyond the blue Atlantic,that man that had dreamed of youand set out to sea looking for you.When you raised your pale forehead,on the living anxiety of your longing,under the gentle dome of your skya strange banner already floated.

[Choir]

It was useless that your beloved, the indianwrathfully prepared for the fight,because, his Lempirian blood wrapped around himhe sunk into the depths of night.And of the epic deed, in his memory,only the legend has been kept,the place of its burial unknown to alland the stoic profile of a crag.

[Choir]

For three hundred your children heardthe imperative call of the master,for three centuries your useless callgot lost in the blue air.But one day, glory, your earsensed that, powerful and distant,that far away, across the Atlantic,a lion roared in indignation.

[Choir]

It was France, the free, the heroic,that asleep in his centuries long dream,awakened, infuriated, to lifeat the virile call of Danton,it was France, that sent forth to deaththe head of the consecrated King,and that built, proud at its sidethe altar of the goddess Reason.

[Choir]

You too, o homeland! did riseof your deep, servile sleepand you, too, showed the worldthat laid in pieces the infamous link of your chain.And in your blessed soil, beyond thetall mane of the savage mountain,like a bird of black plumage,the short-lived colony was lost.

[Choir]

So as to keep this divine crestO homeland, we'll march into death.Our luck will be generousif we die while thinking of your love,defending your sacred flag.And many, Honduras, will be your deadwrapped up in your glorious folds,but all will fall with honor.

[Choir]
