Assume that I have a text file separated by colons. I understand how to display the entire text file or any specific column using awk. However, what I want to do is to get the awk output and then display it by adding my own text using a shell script? For example, assume that my text file is:

England:London:GMT
USA:Washington:EST
France:Paris:GMT

What I want to do is to display this input into the below format:

COUNTRY: England
CAPITOL: London
TIMEZONE: GMT

COUNTRY: USA
CAPITOL: Washington
TIMEZONE: EST

COUNTRY: France
CAPITOL: Paris
TIMEZONE: GMT
