La Vuelta de Obligado (Triunfo)
Ruben Alberto Benegas
The Return of Obligado (Triumph)
Ninety merchant ships
Twenty warships, twenty warships
They come crashing up
Our waters, our waters
Twenty warships come
With their flags, with their flags
The narrows of quebracho
They won't pass here, they won't pass here
I'll throw them to the gringos
A great seven
Sailing so many seas
Coming to nothing
What do I say, coming to nothing!
Oh my, with the French
Who could handle them, who could handle them
Let's see, you Pascual Echagüe
Governors, governors
Don't let the French pass
Paraná to the north, Paraná to the north
Pascual Echagüe measures them
Mansilla kills them, Mansilla kills them
I'll throw them to the gringos
A great seven
Sailing so many seas
Coming to nothing
What do I say, coming to nothing!
