Translation:
Oh Nicaragua, dear Nicaragua
The most beautiful flower dearest to my heart
The hero and martyr Diriangen*
Died for you
Nicaraguita
Oh Nicaragua you are even sweeter
Than the honey from Tamagas
But now that you are free
Nicaraguita
I love you much more
But now that you are free
Nicaraguita
I love you much more
*Diriangen - tribal leader in Nicaragua who fought the Spamish in the 1520s.
