Oration to the Salvadoran Flag
Dios te salve, Patria Sagrada,
en tu seno hemos nacido y amado; eres el aire que respiramos, la tierra que nos sustenta, la familia que amamos, la libertad que nos defiende, la religión que nos consuela.
Tú tienes nuestros hogares queridos, fértiles campiñas, ríos majestuosos, soberbios volcanes, apacibles lagos, cielos de púrpura y oro.
En tus campos ondulan doradas espigas, en tus talleres vibran los motores, chisporrotean los yunques, surgen las bellezas del arte.
Patria, en tu lengua armoniosa pedimos a la Providencia que te ampare, que abra nuestra alma al resplandor del cielo, grabe en ella dulce afecto al Maestro y a la Escuela y nos infunda tu santo amor.
Patria, tu historia, blasón de héroes y mártires, reseña virtudes y anhelos; tú reverencias el Acta que consagró la soberanía nacional y marcas la senda florida en que la Justicia y la Libertad nos llevan hacia Dios.
¡Bandera de la Patria, símbolo sagrado de El Salvador, te saludan reverentes las nuevas generaciones!
Para ti, el sol vivificante de nuestras glorias, los himnos del patriotismo, los laureles de los héroes.
Para ti, el respeto de los pueblos y la corona de amor que hoy ceñimos a tus inmortales sienes.

Himno Nacional de El Salvador
CORO
Saludemos la patria orgullosos De hijos suyos podernos llamar; Y juremos la vida animosos,
Sin descanso a su bien consagrar
PRIMERA ESTROFA
Y con fe inquebrantable el camino Del progreso se afana en seguir, Por llenar su grandioso destino, Conquistarse un feliz porvenir.
Le protege una férrea barrera Contra el choque de ruin deslealtad, Desde el día que en su alta bandera
Con su sangre escribió: ¡LIBERTAD!
SEGUNDA ESTROFA
Libertad es su dogma, es su guía Que mil veces logró defender; Y otras tantas, de audaz tiranía
Rechazar el odioso poder. Dolorosa y sangrienta es tu historia, Pero excelsa y brillante a la vez; Manantial de legítima gloria, Gran lección de espartana altivez.
No desmaya en su innata bravura, En cada hombre hay un héroe inmortal Que sabrá mantenerse a la altura De su antiguo valor proverbial.
TERCERA ESTROFA
Todos son abnegados y fieles Al prestigio del bélico ardor Con que siempre segaron laureles De la patria salvando el honor.
Respetar los derechos extraños Y apoyarse en la recta razón Es para ella, sin torpes amaños Su invariable, mas firme ambición.
Y en seguir esta línea se aferra Dedicando su esfuerzo tenaz, En hacer cruda guerra a la guerra;
Su ventura se encuentra en la paz.
