Mi Retorno
Luis Alberto del Parana
My Return
I have returned to my homeland, because I can no longer
Resist the absence of my love
That yesterday I was cradled with all tenderness
Giving me the flowers of his kunu'u
When I got to the port I wanted to hug her
Kiss her and tell her: I'm back, Mom
But it was all in vain because God
Without seeing him, he took her
I am only comforted today by our manners
That in all my tour máro ndatopai
The pretty donkey, the beautiful hostess
And the chiperita is not equal
I went many years without seeing the coat
With his matchless, piri hat
And to the peasant with fairy hands
Under the enclosure, weaving ñandutí
I toured very big and luxurious cities
Paris, London and Rome are bright
But they don't equal you my flowery Assumption
And fate wills, here I stay
And here among your hills, your mountains, your rivers
Your green meadows full of amambai
I want death to surprise me one day
Singing guaranias to my Paraguay
Your melody message are
Of the most beautiful you have
Your faithful messenger I will be
Songs I take to hand out
Such is life I am happy
I have a heart to sing
Singing I will always sing
In your tribute my Paraguay
