Disculpe [English translation]

Excuse me if you don´t understand what I sing,

maybe we speak different languages.

You always complain about these little corners of the world and I,

and I love and admire our people *(folks).

You always squander sunrises

talking about he skyies of other lands,

on the contrary I start my day *(journey)

happy that I am under these stars.

Excuse me if you don´t understand me,

Excuse me if I don´t understand you.

You speak through other people´s mouth

and I,

and I am the echo of my nation *(people)

Excuse me if I say in my way,

you sow rancour and I *(sow) hope,

you envy the others their flag

and I adore my light blue and white (flag, the Argentinian one).

I am like the ovenbird and I rebel,

my homeland is my and I defend it!

On the contrary you *(plural pronoun in this case) are like the thrushs

that want to brood in other´s nest.
