Subject(s): Freedom; Liberty
To the loftiest height the eagle soars
From the starry blue sky of sparkling light
At the mountains and hills the waterfalls roars
In the valleys of fertility are found the necessities of life
From other countries have come prospective citizens
In the hope of living in a land of opportunity
With the goddess of liberty holding aloft the torch for entrance
Friendly neighbors helping to establish a home with security.
From the east to the west are to be found
People working and doing their best;
To the south and the north engaged in tilling the ground
While living in harmonious relations has reached the crest.
