Canción Del Estudiante
Francisco García Jiménez
Student's Song
Breeze that curls the Plata; zonda of the Andes, peak;
warm breath of the North; gust of the South...
Carry by the four winds, in their gallop,
this song that sings the youth!
Souls and voices together; hands intertwined;
deep faith of Argentines and a common desire:
longings for noble knowledge, never satisfied;
eyes set on paths of the beyond...
Students! Let's raise the flag
that the heroes of yesterday illustrated,
and may spring flourish at its feet
of renewed love in our being.
And let the name of students take flight
in bronzes of romantic emotion
those who are, those who were before
those who, luckily, have the heart of students
for their whole life!
Pages of the books, words of the teachers;
classrooms where faith and friendship were born:
all our most precious treasures
this fraternal song comes to sing.
Waves of the wide river; snows of the mountain;
suns of the burning North; plains of the South...
All the beloved homeland carries in its womb
this song that sings the youth!
Students!... Let's raise the flag
that the heroes of yesterday illustrated,
and may spring flourish at its feet
of renewed love in our being.
And let the name of students take flight
in bronzes of romantic emotion,
those who are, those who were before,
those who, luckily, have the heart of students
for their whole life!
