Vergel Luqueño
Alberto de Luque
Luque Paradise
It's the sun that's fading among silent clouds
Dragging towards the sunset that beautiful twilight
It carries the last kiss of the fragile butterfly
Sipping nectar from roses and sweetened carnations
Like a distant sigh, the fragrant wind arrives
Bringing the song from Luque of its aromatic garden
Laurelty, bland coast, Ykua Duré, Bogado Island
And from the admired garden, San Rafael creek
Far away it fades like a message from a dream
Between a dying ray, Maka'i, Maramburé
With warm smiles, the laid-back locals
With the harp and guitar sing sweet Ava Ñe'ê
Little piece of my homeland cradled among lilies
Where the goldfinches of Eden Itá Angu'a dwell
Legendary Tarumandy, Itapuami with its jungle
And Morakue the land, cradle of happiness
Yka'a, Zárate Island rival in beauty
With the greenest fields of Ykua Karanda'y
The grand Campo Grande and also silky Hugua
They treasure my Luque, oikekuévo kuarahy.
