"Tu bandera es un lampo de cielo" (national anthem of Honduras) Yourflag, your flag is a splendour ofsky Crossed by a block, by a block ofsnow; And seen on itssacred background Are five stars of pale blue; On your emblem, which a roaring sea Shields with its rough waves, Behind the bare summit of avolcano, of a volcano, There is astar, there is a star of clear light.
