Argentinian Point
There's no worse Argentinian than their own killer.
There's no better Argentinian if there's no one worse.
If I have no history and no tradition,
maybe I have no memory, and not much heart.
If I'm from the countryside, I'm not really in it,
what future awaits me if they govern from the outside?
In the Capital fighting against capital,
national pride is winning a World Cup at the Monumental.
We are the Argentinians in the third person,
maybe we're down for the count, and they want to box us.
Want me to tell you who the Argentinians of the Argentinas are?:
Those who went nowhere or to the Falklands.
If those little islands are Argentinian and speak English,
what's left for the rest of us in the back part?
We are the Argentinians who never came,
and if I can't stay, the moon and the river will cry for me.
Did you see how many countries no longer exist?
We used to have customs with great dignity
and four cardinal points, because anything less isn't cardinal.
That's the Argentinian point!
