Yuriria of My Love
There behind those hillsIs the village where I was born
Yuriria1 of my love,
Through my songs you'll know about me
An adventurer I've been
So I say, far away from you
Yuriria of my memories,
All my desire is to return to you
Your lagoon is very beautiful
Where the moon is a wondrous thing
With beams from the full moon
The fisherman weaves his nets
Above Yuriria with its beautiful streets
Embroidered with stones in the colonial style
Above Yuriria and its beautiful women
Because if you want, there are none equal
Your convent brings back memories
And those colonial times
You're home to a precious jewel
For its beauty so natural
To the Lord of Esquipulitas2
Precious blood and health
He took them to its altarpieces
To leave it under its cross
My neighborhood is Puerta del Llano3
Impossible to forget, if I left there
My parents so beloved
And my friends, and my love
Above Yuriria with its beautiful streets
Embroidered with stones in the colonial style
Above Yuriria and its beautiful women
Because if you want, there are none equal
