Anthemn Himno de Humacao:

Written by Miguel Correa and music by Miguel Monserrat, both are teacher in Humacao Public Schools District.
Humacao, hijo de taíno bravío
antillano por herencia occidental
con los africanos formamos tus hijos,
caribeño en abrazo fraternal.

Humacao, pueblo cuna de artistas y poetas
que has sabido la gloria alcanzar
por tus hijos que han dado fortuna
para hacerte Ciudad Oriental.

Humacao, para ti es el canto taíno
inspirado en una hermosa oración
por tu gente, costumbres y encantos
eres paraíso terreno de Dios.

Humacao, pueblo cuna de artistas y poetas,
que has sabido la gloria alcanzar
por tus hijos que han dado fortuna
para hacerte Ciudad Oriental.

Humacao, Humacao, Humacao.
