My country's soul is like a song in the key of Sunday mornings
Relentless dreamer bringing on the best of men and women
People that look you in the eye; folk that uplift each other
People I'm proud to sing out loud: "this is my brother!"

I was born to lava flow and stone, to jungle and rainforest
Volcano is keeper of my soul; the open sea is my lover
My fate hangs on an oath I took so long ago in ancient times
My doom will find me unafraid; I'll go with peace in my mind

País Acuarela, the smiling horizon
The sweet piece of heaven I'll always call my own
My place chiquitito so close to the heavens
Where God fell in love, where my love is awaiting
I love you, Ecuador, like the fire of a rising star
Hails the sunlight, hark my soul
Ecuador is the world that is singing when the world is in love

My country is watercolor red; my country is sunburst yellow
My country is hazel brown and then is more like a glorious rainbow
My country is emerald and gold; it ain't no black and white nation
It's of sugar, lime and copper, like the true colors of creation

And when at dusk the orange sun is painting crimson skylines
And I see myself right through your eyes and see your future in mine
I see my country and I dream, I see my country and I know
This is our token, we're children of Sunlight

País Acuarela, the smiling horizon
The sweet piece of heaven I'll always call my own
My place chiquitito so close to the heavens
Where God fell in love, where my love is awaiting
I love you, Ecuador, like the fire of a rising star
Hails the sunlight, hark my soul
Ecuador is the world that is singing when the world is in love

I dream of my people, I dream of my homeland
I dream of us dreaming together as one man
I don't want my brother against our own brother
Our dream be the difference, our wings be the motor
I love you, Ecuador, one voice singing higher

País Acuarela, the smiling horizon
The sweet piece of heaven I'll always call my own
My place chiquitito so close to the heavens
Where God fell in love, where my love is awaiting
I love you, Ecuador, like the fire of a rising star
Hails the sunlight, hark my soul
Ecuador is the world that is singing when the world is in love
