Guatemala

Recostada en el Ande soberbio

de dos mares al ruido sonoro,

bajo el ala de grana y de oro

te adormeces el bello quetzal.

Ave indiana que vive en tu escudo

paladeon que protege tu suelo

ojala que remonte en su vuelo

más que el condor y el aguila real

¡Ojalá que remonte en su vuelo

más que el condor y el aguila real

y en sus alas levante hasta el cielo

Guaemala tu nombre inmortal!

Fragment of Guatemala's National Anthem.

"Leaned on the proud Andes

of two roaring oceans at hearing distance,

beneath the wing of seeds and gold

you become entranced by the beautiful Quetzal

Native bird that lives in you coat of arms

shield that protects your soil

We hope it flies high above,

more than the Condor and the Eagle

We hope it flies high above,

more than the Condor and the Eagle,

and in it wing takes with thee

Guatemala your immortal name.
