El Belize national anthem written by samuel alfred haynes. It was composed of Selwyn Walford Ypung in 1963. But only in 1981 was it taken as the national anthem of Belize.

Its lyrics evoke its beautiful landscapes and moments in its history such as that of slavery. It is written in English, the official language, but today most of the inhabitants use Spanish, due to the large number of mestizos and Central American migrants. Other languages ​​that are also spoken throughout the country are Creole, Garifuna, Hindi, Maya Ketchi, Maya Mopan, Maya Yucatec, German and Chinese.

This is an excerpt from the hymn:

"Free country of the Caribbean Sea,
We promise our value to your freedom!
No tyrant here lags behind,
despots must flee this quiet haven of democracy.
The blood of our fathers, which sanctifies the ground,
brought freedom from the bar of the oppression of slavery,
by the force of truth and the grace of God.
We will no longer be woodcutters.

CHORUS
Present, the sons of the Bahiano clan!
Put on your armor, clean up the country!
Drive back the tyrants, Let the despots flee!
Land of the free by the Caribbean Sea! "
