Song to Retalhuleu
Retalhuleu,
warm and beautiful land
the road «Las Palmas»
fans and refreshes you
and the Palmar lulls you.
Retalhuleu,
in your port and its beach,
your feverish Champerico
I found a paradise
At the sea’s shore.
How do I carry engravings?
your palace and the park,
with your beautiful streets
and your happy season.
your pretty women
fragrant buds,
inspired verses
of my sweet song
Retalhuleu,
they caress you and water you
several sonorous rivers:
Samalá, Ocosito,
Sununa and the Nil.
Retalhuleu,
your leafy palm trees
they quiver in the wind
and refresh and kiss
with its gentle swing…
Retalhuleu!
