Al Doctor de La Selva (Dr. Maradona)

The month of July saw him born
In the province of Santa Fe
In the shadow of a great ceiba tree
Beautiful memories of his childhood
In Buenos Aires, he got his degree
And dedicated himself to the indigenous people

He was pursued, had to cross
From Resistencia to Paraguay
There, the war caught him by surprise
And amidst the bullets, he found his love
But death separated them
And he returned to Argentina

With the money he earned
He offered it to noble causes
He explored the Pilcomayo and Bermejo
Its ethnography and vegetation
His great desire was to travel
From Formosa to Tucumán
And along the way, be able to visit

His relatives traveling on the train
But destiny changed its course
And he stopped in Estanislao del Campo
And got off to help Doña Mercedes
To assist in the birth of her child

And since then, Piognac, doctor God
Lived fifty years in Campos
And with the support of a Commission
Colonia Alberdi emerged there
Where the Toba and Pilagá people
Receive his help and valuable instruction

His life is settled with this mission
Attentive to the changes in the region
A forgotten area by this country
Of extreme scarcity and resignation
By all means, he wanted to bring
A little relief to his population

Dear Esteban Laureano Piognac
We remember you for your actions
Your dignified image and dedication
Noble doctor of the rural soul
Anonymous heroes of our country

Who bear the burdens of the national being
Who leave their lives in some corner
Of the harsh and carnal geography
We remember you for your kindness
We remember you for your selflessness
For your service and humility
Your philanthropy, dear doctor

We remember you for your selflessness
For your service and humility
Your philanthropy, dear doctor
