Candombe De Artigas

I, José Gervasio Artigas
With the United Provinces
I don't join and that's why I formed my league
The Union of Free Peoples
Black, gaucho, and indigenous
With the right to ignore what they say

We distrust the Congress
It's full of people from Buenos Aires
They don't want federalism, none of that
Here no one is above anyone
And we dance the same dance
In the Provinces and also in Buenos Aires

We want independence
To be free is not a science
It's respect for the other and their beliefs
And if one day we come together
Porteños and provincials
In unity and freedom we will surely go
Here no one is above anyone
And we dance the same dance
In the Provinces and also in Buenos Aires
