Chorus
Alcanzamos por fin la victoria
en el campo feliz de la unión;
con ardientes fulgores de gloria
se ilumina la nueva nacion.
Verses
Es preciso cubrir con un velo
del pasado el calvario y la cruz;
y que adorne el azul de tu cielo
de concordia la esplendida luz.
El progreso acaricia tus lares
al compás de sublime canción;
ves rugir a tus pies ambos mares
que dan rumbo a tu noble misión.
En tu suelo cubierto de flores,
a los besos del tibio terral,
terminaron guerreros fragores;
solo reina el amor fraternal.
Adelante la pica y la pala,
al trabajo sin mas dilación;
y seremos asi prez y gala,
de este mundo feraz de Colón.
