Yo Soy Juan Manuel de Rosas

I'm not going to ask for permission
I'm going to introduce myself
I am Juan Manuel de Rosas
I come to organize

Of the confederation
I am the owner and lord
Don't call me a tyrant
But the restorer

To foreign empires
I say no!
Unitarians, and Montevideo
I say, here I come

My federal project
Only wants to pacify
And whoever doesn't like it
Will have a hard time

Long live the leader
In other words, myself
Long live, long live, the confederation
Federalism, patriotism
Is all I want

Liberals and unitarians
Will not stop me
Neither France nor England
I will let pass

National independence
That is fundamental
See here a cattleman
With a military soul

Long live the leader
In other words, myself
Long live, long live, the confederation
Federalism, patriotism
Is all I want
