Mi ciudad y mi gente
Eladia Blázquez
My city and my people
Even if I'm given the back of cement,
looks at me pass by indifferent,
this is my city, this is my people...
and it's the place where I feel like dying.
Buenos Aires!...
For my soul there will be no geography
better than the landscape...
of your streets,
where day by day I spend my fears,
soles and suit...
I couldn't...
live with pride,
looking at another sky that wasn't yours,
because here a tango hurts me
and the warmth of a hand
and it's so hard for me to earn a living!...
Because I am like you,
who denies or gives;
I proclaim you, Buenos Aires, my city!
Even if you give me the back of cement,
look at me pass by indifferent;
I love you!... Buenos Aires, and your people,
and among your people, unintentionally I find you,
I find myself...
Because I am like you,
who denies or gives;
I proclaim you, Buenos Aires, my city!
