[edit] Spanish lyrics

¡Salve a ti, Centroamérica! En tu suelo
ya no ruge la voz del cañón,
ni se tiñe con sangre de hermanos
tu glorioso pendón bicolor.

Brille hermosa la paz en tu cielo,
nada empañe tu gloria inmortal,
¡que el trabajo es tu digno laurel
y el honor es tu enseña triunfal!

[edit] English lyrics

Hail to thee, Central America! On thy land
roars the voice of the cannon no more,
nor does the blood of brothers now stain
thy glorious bicolor banner.

Let peace shine beautiful in thy sky,
and nothing dim thine immortal glory,
¡for work is thy well earned laurel
and honor is thy triumphal emblem!
