Vamos Pa'l Sur

come on, compadre, come,
let's go down south,
the homeland needs your fervor.

The fight will be tough,
and victory at hand,
come on, compadre,
let's go down south.

It's not about rifles,
nor about knives,
it's about taming a river,
and making it light.

It must be tamed with
the tip of the heart,
come on, compadre, come,
let's go down south.

And so the warrior of honor
will enter glory,
if history doesn't name him,
he'll be the rider of the chocón.

Come on, compadre, come,
let's go down south.

Not long ago that land
wept blood,
may it not have been in vain,
so much pain.

The fight is for the criollos,
temper and courage,
come on, compadre, come,
let's go down south.

To you, gaucho,
I say that the nation
needs all the love
of its children,
it's the pride of a few
to kiss the sun,
come on, compadre,
come, let's go down south.

And so the warrior of honor
will enter glory.

If history doesn't name him,
he'll be the rider of the chocón,
come on, compadre, come,
let's go down south.
