Mi País

My Country
Today I can see all the good
That is here
And admire the traditions
that make my country great
As a Uruguayan I want to be part of you
Travel all your beaches
Your customs, your profile
Have a mate, eat a biscuit
Whistle at the guard
Go to the bar for some tricks
And dream of being a champion
Today I can love, I can sing, I can laugh
Breathe your spring
Until the jasmine arrives
With fried cakes I will sing in the rain
Because the saying goes
Whenever it rained, it stopped
Thanks to you, beautiful land
The carnival group rehearses today to go out
And in the doorway, kiss the bride
Who will one day give children to the country
Today I can love, I can sing
I can laugh, breathe your spring
Until the jasmine arrives
With fried cakes I will sing in the rain
Because the saying goes
Whenever it rained, it stopped
Thanks to you, beautiful land
The carnival group rehearses today to go out
And in the doorway, kiss the bride
Who will one day give children to the country
And the drum will go with its candombes
Filling my country with poetry
The carnival group rehearses today to go out
Thanks to you in my country
The carnival group rehearses today to go out
Thanks to you in my country
The carnival group rehearses today to go out
