I'll offer a few lines as well. I also suggest you edit your title to include some of the lyrics please. Thanks. (See Forum Rules) smile

People call me Chapín
No doubt because of my courage
Because up to now and forever after
I fight dictatorship
from Antigua I go to Belmopan
from Ajacutlá to Ceiba,
Tegucigalpa and Colón how pretty are
the [girls] in San Pedro Sula.

Here are the lyrics. I'll do a bit, and let others chip in.

Esta es mi canción para América Central,
donde todos somos hermanos,
Dios nos regaló el paraíso terrenal
a los centroamericanos.

Somos de sangre caliente
mezcla diferentes razas
la del pirata valiente,
indio y español enlazan
a Guatemala y Honduras,
El Salvador y Belice
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Y Panamá,
nuestro Señor los bendice.

Chapín me dice la gente
seguro por mi bravura
pues hasta hoy y por siempre
combato la dictadura
de Antigua voy a Belmopan
de Ajacutlá a la Ceiba,
Tegucigalpa y Colón que chula son
las que hay en San Pedro Sula.

Le dicen el pulgarcito ,
les hablo de El Salvador
pues siendo un país chiquito
es un gigante en valor,
los ticos son corazón
Nicaragua siempre lista
con su frente Sandinista Nacional
para la liberación.

En éstas siete naciones
unidas como cadena
hemos sufrido erupciones
terremotos y la guerra
luchando contra tiranos
mi Centro América entera,
en un futuro cercano,
quiera Dios levantará su bandera.

This is my song for Central America,
where we are all brothers,
God gave us Central Americans
a paradise on Earth.

We're hot-blooded,
a mix of different races,
those of the brave pirate,
the Indian, and the Spaniard blend.
Guatemala and Honduras,
El Salvador and Belize,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama,
May our Lord bless them.
