Patagonia
José Larralde
Patagonia
Patagonia, Patagonia, land of suffering angels,
yesterday bullets wounded you, today forgetfulness wounds you... Patagonia.
Patagonia, Patagonia, destined for sacrifice,
for those who watch from afar, as if in an undefined place... Patagonia.
What destiny can be given to you, by those who do not embrace your destiny,
those who have broken the part, of thinking as Argentine... Patagonia.
Patagonia, Patagonia, pregnant with myths,
that mix with the wind and the breath of your children... Patagonia.
Patagonia... sacred land, because God willed it so,
after the seventh day, He came down to drink from your rivers... Patagonia.
Patagonia, Patagonia, land of suffering angels,
yesterday bullets wounded you, today forgetfulness wounds you... Patagonia.
