Sarmiento En El Alma

Countryman, I have a pride in being from this enchanted town
Its hands and arms of river and the heart of the lakes
If what they tell us is true
That only feathers you leave us
I want to wear one to show your greatness

I will forget about the sorrows
When I return to my homeland
Embraced by my friends among the stoves singing

My town, never change
Do not follow wealth
Stay with your nobility from which your strength is born

Sarmiento, I would ask you on the day I die
To shelter me with your soil and the green of your grove
Let me incarnate in the heart of your land

If there will be history among your hills
And the blue shine of your lakes
Of Grandfather Casimiro flying the old chimango

You even gave me a wife, saw my children grow
How can I forget you, town, if you lit my way

Sarmiento, I would ask you on the day I die
To shelter me with your soil and the green of your grove
Let me incarnate in the heart of your land
