Nicaragua, Nicaragüita [English translation]

Ay, Nicaragua, Dear Nicaragua

Receive as a token of love

This bouquet of everlasting flowers and jilinjoches

That today bloom for you.

When I kiss your pure forehead

I kiss the pearl of your sweat,

Much sweeter that the little fruit of tiguilote

And the jocote tronador.

Ay, Nicaragua, Dear Nicaragua

My dear vegetable heart of pijibay.

My passion buried itself

In the furrow of your fondness

Like a little grain of corn.

It's your saliva viscous and sweet

Like the sap of the cashew apple

That heals with happiness every day

My rebellious heart,

That heals with happiness every day

My rebellious heart.

Ay, Nicaragua, Dear Nicaragua

The most beautiful flower of my love,

Fertilized with the blessed, dear Nicaragua,

Blood of Diriangén.

Ay, Nicaragua you're more sweet,

Than the honey of Tamagás,

But now that you're finally free, dear Nicaragua,

I love you so much more.
