Each new morn brings new surprises
In this land of fire and snow
The sun beats down on fields of plenty
Life beats down on the urban poor
Ecuador una via, Ecuador, Oh Ecuador
One way forward with the people
All together sing por favor
Land of contrasts, land of plenty
Land of promise yet so far
Sing the words of Juan Leone Marra
Sucre, Martin and Bolivar
Ecuador una via, Ecuador, Oh Ecuador
One way forward with the people
All together sing por favor
From the forest, high Sierre
Occidental, coastal plains
Feel the spirit of the Incas
Hear the tongues of a golden age
Ecuador una via, Ecuador, Oh Ecuador
One way forward with the people
All together sing por favor
Land of mystery and of culture
Land of music, dance and song
Sing and dance for your children
For an age that's still to come
Ecuador una via, Ecuador, Oh Ecuador
One way forward with the people
All together sing por favor
Give the future to your children
Sing tomorrow come the day
Chimbarosa, Cotipaxi
Ecuador stole my heart away
Ecuador una via, Ecuador, Oh Ecuador
One way forward with the people
All together sing por favor
