Bella Ciudad (Panama City),
Bella Panamá (Bella ciudad)
Bienvenidos a Panamá (ay! Que bella mi Panama)
Bella Ciudad, ay! mi Panamá
Bienvenidos a Panamá
En mil quinientos diecinueve (1519)
15 de agosto, fecha-memorable
En la costa, junto al mar
Es nuestro dia pa’ celebrar
Esta gran ciudad fue fundada
Por Pedro Arias Dávila
Quien Recibió la real cédula
De Carlos I de España
[Chorus}
Antes, una aldea de pesca
Justo a la orilla del mar
Empezó a sonar las campanas
De la histórica Torre Catedral
En aquellos tiempos del istmo
La población era muy poca
Solo cien personas, quizás, digo yo
Primera ciudad-europeo ‘nel pacifico
[CHORUS]
El Camino Real cruzó el istmo
Dos océanos Conectados
Desde Panamá a Nombre de Dios
Todavía los fantasmas marcan paso (oooOOOooo)
Desde Perú - oro y plata
Atrayendo todo tipo de pirata
de América del Sur, toda la riqueza
Llegó a tierras panameñas
Rantan de botín anuales
enfermedades tropicales!
Llegó por mula al atlántico,
Rumbo a España de Nombre de Dios
[Chorus]
En mil quinientos diecinueve (1519)
15 de agosto, fecha-memorable
En la costa, junto al mar
Es nuestro dia pa’ celebrar (2X)
[Chorus] (2X)_____________________________

Panama City, Panama City
Welcome to Panama
Bella Ciudad, ay! mi Panamá
Bienvenidos a Panamá
15 August 1519
The beginning of a dream
It is important to know this date
Because it's the day that we celebrate
Pedro Arias Davila
Received from the king of España
Official doctrine for the fealty
To be named Panama City
[Chorus}
A fishing village it was formerly
Right upon the coast of the sea
Catedral tower built up towards the sky You could hear the bell toll far and wide
At this time within the nation
There was a very small population
Only 100 people or so,
First european settlement on Pacific coast
[CHORUS]
The camino real it paved the way
And in this isthmus it had to stay
All the way to Nombre de Dios
If you go now you can hear them ghost!
Riches came up out of Peru
Many Many ship and the Pirates knew
All the pearls, silver and gold,
Panama City was Pacific stronghold
They then crossed Panama by Mule
Tropical diseases dem was very cruel
Finally arrived to Atlantic Coast
Departing to Spain from Nombre de Dios
[Chorus]
15 August 1519
The beginning of a dream
It is important that you know this date
Because it's the day that we celebrate (2x)
[Chorus] (2X)_____________________________
