La Vuelta de Obligado
Alfredo Zitarrosa
The Obligado Turn
Ninety merchant ships
Twenty warships
They come pushing forward
Our waters
Twenty warships come
With their flags
Narrowing of the quebracho
They won't pass from here
Damn the gringos
A great seven
Sailing so many seas
Coming for nothing
What do I say coming for nothing!
Oh my, with the French
If only someone could
Let's see, you Pascual Echagüe
Governor is
Don't let the French pass
Paraná to the north
Pascual Echagüe measures them
Mansilla kills them
