Little dove, come because it's time.

Come, it's time
Look out the window and you will see the dawn
And you will see the dawn

And when that Sun rises

Together the two of us will go, lolita
You would bring the oars
I would carry love

Pretty Lolita, if you loved me

I will market you, I will market you
A small rowboat for us to take a ride in.
So that we could stroll

My little sweetheart, pretty dove

Come here, darling, so I can cuddle you.
Oh little currucuchita, my curly one
Come here, baby, I'm going to cuddle you
And when that Sun rises
Together we will go, Lolita
You would carry the oars
I would bring love
 Nicaragua, little Nicaragua

Oh, Nicaragua, little Nicaragua

Receive as a token of love
This branch of everlasting flowers and jilinjoches
That today they bloom for you

When I kiss your pure forehead

I kiss the pearls of your sweat
Sweeter than the little fruit of tiguilote
And the exploding jocote

Oh, Nicaragua, little Nicaragua

My little pijibay bud
My passion was buried.
In a furrow of your affection
Like a kernel of corn

Your saliva is light and sweet

Like the sap of the cashew
That remains joyful every day
My rebellious heart

Oh, Nicaragua, little Nicaragua

The prettiest flower of my love
Subscribed with the blessed Nicaraguita
Blood of Diriangen

Oh, Nicaragua you are so sweet

That little honey of tamagas
But now that you are free, Nicaraguita
I love you much more
