¡Viva La Patria!

Carlos Gardel Carlos Gardel

Long Live the Homeland!

The gray fog tore fast
The flight of an airplane
And it was the triumphant dawn
Of the Revolution
And like yesterday, in immortal
Eighteen ten

The people took to the streets
Radiant with pride
The oppressor was not a stranger
Like one from a century ago

But it was the same flag
That they wanted to snatch away
And in safeguarding Liberty
From the tragic onslaught
The eternal and pure voice
Resounded through the streets

Long live the homeland
And the glory of being free!
Long live the homeland
That they tried to tarnish!

Proud to be Argentine
As we trace our new destinies
Long live the homeland!
On our knees, at its altar!

And the legion that built
The nationality
Encouraged us, guided us
From eternity
Intertwined, they saw progress
The Capital and the South
Soldiers and tribunes
Lineage and multitude

Springtime dawn
Of the Revolution
From your garden, every woman
Was a fragrant flower
And even the youthful blood
Dyed their flag
Making our manly cry
More glorious
