Fortín Toledo

Let me tell you on my drum
The Fort Toledo combat yesterday
The guys are rovatavyeta
Like a fly that died
February 23rd starts
He bombed our position
And oñomoirûvo to the cannon
Five planes came over us

Hayvi the bomb, it's light
The field, the forest is scattered
The son of Paraguay is not afraid
And as we were, we were cold
The big crocodile is angry
He looked up and smirked
If he makes a mistake, he hits it
Hesakua in the middle of the ava'i

Fort Toledo, glory of glory
Where Paraguay knew to defend
Its just right, its sovereignty
Paraguayans we all have to win!

Fort Toledo, glory of glory
Commander Ayala, defending hero
One and a thousand times yours is the glory
You are victory, strength and courage

The next day, two in the afternoon
The riflemaker was roaring
Regiment 5 and Piribebuy
As two lions defended
Cannon 105 moved slightly
He pulled over and delivered
I entrust it to the Bolivians
Paradise gift irambosaguã

And meanwhile from behind
Valois Rivarola is St. Martin
In a moment with Cerro Corándi
In an assault he destroyed it
He slammed the angu'a's púpe
Big Crocodile, light little dog
Colonel Quintela and his division
Ya no longer even left to pohag̃ua

In rearguard of the Bolivians
Jakare Valija is not afraid
The Lieutenant Ibáñez a great document
With 20 soldiers he captured

Fort Toledo, glory of glory
Commander Ayala, defending hero
One and a thousand times yours is the glory
You are victory, strength and courage
