Bienvenido, Hermano Extranjero
Carlos Cacavelos
Welcome, Foreign Brother
Welcome, foreign brother!
Here I present to you my heroic nation
I ask you to be sincere
Isn't it true that there is nothing like Asunción?
Welcome, sir from other lands!
My people are full of cordiality
My countrymen, when shaking your hand
Are an open book of sincerity
Karai, roipota ko ore yvýpe
Rejuhu mborayhu ha po'a
That means in my language
Good luck, dear and love!
I wish you a good journey
May you return soon as well
Translated, I tell you to take
A thousand memories of Ypacaraí
Welcome, foreign brother!
These are the nights of my Paraguay
Serenade with harp and guitar
And a moon and jasmine vine
Welcome, sir from other lands!
My people are full of cordiality
My countrymen, when shaking your hand
Are an open book of sincerity
Karai, roipota ko ore yvýpe
Rejuhu mborayhu ha po'a
That means in my language
Good luck, dear and love!
I wish you a good journey
May you return soon as well
Translated, I tell you to take
A thousand memories of Ypacaraí
