Con el más alegre son de mi pueblo vengo a cantar
With the happiest tune of my village, I come to sing
este "Gloria a Cristo" que en son de toros me gusta más,
this 'Glory to Christ' that I like best in the rhythm of bulls,
yo quiero cantar a Jesús que es líder de la verdad,

con el gozo desbordante y explosivo de los cohetes
with the overflowing and explosive joy of fireworks
que iluminan nuestros cielos en la fiesta popular.
that light up our skies during the popular celebration.
Gloria a Dios en Siuna, Jalapa y Cosigüina,

Gloria al que sigue la luz del evangelio,

al que denuncia sin miedo la injusticia,

y da su vida combatiendo al opresor.

Hoy te glorificamos Señor con las marimbas,
Today we glorify you, Lord, with marimbas,
con violines de ñambar, sonajas y atabales,
with amber violins, rattles, and drums,
con chirimillas, quijongos y sambubias,

con las danzas nativas de Subtiava y Monimbó.
