Aqui Me Quedo
Carlos Ramón Fernandez
Here I Stay
I have received a beautiful letter from abroad
It's from a relative who left a long time ago
And he tells me the United States is the most perfect
And that I should go, that my future is far away
But I tell him that this is my land and here I stay
If it needs to change, we must fight but from within
But don't lie, that country is not so perfect
If it throws bombs that scare the world, it lives with them
Oh, my Argentina, how much I love you
For my sky-blue and white flag, my whole game
I can't go because my harvest is blooming
Every seed grows as fast as dreams
Although there are times when I get upset with the governments
They don't sow and they retain 20% of my earnings
But my homeland is like my mother, just like her
With a thousand flaws, although they criticize her, she is the most beautiful
And even if there are protests every day from the picketers
I keep dreaming of a future for my grandchildren
I thank you for the invitation from abroad
This is my letter where I tell you how the people are
And if I leave, I will miss everything I have
Even my willow, even my stream, and even my dog
Keep living in that perfect country
That arbitrates the world and shows off with blockades
Here I am free, I can shout out everything I feel
And thank you very much for remembering, here I stay
Oh, my Argentina, how much I love you
For my sky-blue and white flag, my whole game
For my sky-blue and white flag, my whole game
This is my land, here I was born and here I die
This is my land, here I was born and here I die...
