Bien nosotros

Well, us!
To live with a taste of home...
To share the things that happen to us,
without giving up. Well, us!
Like Corrientes, like the obelisk,
to understand that the reason to be is
within ourselves... Well, us!
Like the barbecue and the yerba mate.
The blunders and the craziness,
which are also there... Well, us!
Like this tango that’s danced in four.
Like the coffee during good times,
like friendship... Well, us!
Because it’s the same as saying... you all.
Because we care and because it’s possible,
we have to rise up.

Well, us!
Like the filling in empanadas.
Like the neighborhood, like the hood
that watched us grow.
Well, us!
Like a plate of spaghetti and sauce.
Like a game of billiards or cards
to defend... Well, us!
Overwhelmed by the absurdities.
By the workout of great patience,
without being able to escape... Well, us!
For a human and superhuman sense,
because we know how to reach out our hands
in adversity... Well, us!
Because it’s the same as saying... you all.
Because we care and because it’s possible,
we have to rise up.
