PANAMA
CHORUS Alcanzamos por fin la victoria
Es preciso cubrir con un velo El progreso acaricia tus lares
CHORUS
En tu suelo cubierto de flores, Adelante la pica y la pala,

TRANSLATION |
CHORUS We finally attained victory In the happy field of union. With glowing splendour, The new nation is illumined.
It is necessary to veil with a curtain The Calvary and Cross of the past, And for you to adorn the azure of your skies With the splendid light of concord. Progress fondly touches your homes, In time with the music of a sublime song. You see, roaring at your feet, two oceans Which give direction to your noble mission.
CHORUS
On your flower-covered soil, Kissed by the warm breeze, Warlike clamour has ended And only brotherly love reigns. Ahead, with spade and stone-mason's hammer! To work, without more delay! In this way we shall be the honour and glory Of this fertile land of Columbus.
CHORUS
