El combate de San Lorenzo [English translation]

At the shores of the Paraná

from other lands of the Rio de la Plata

they were coming to San Lorenzo

wanting to affront the homeland,

And San Martin with Cabral

made the gaucho history...

From Rosario, Cabral

went with his grenadiers

and in front of that monastery

the homeland was filled with glory,

defeating the invader

that figures now in history...

The homeland was being born

and Cabral was dying,

it doesn't matter my captain,

don't you see I die happy,

it doesn't matter my captain,

don't you see I die happy.

It was a February third

and the sun went up in San Carlos

a hundred fifty patriots

were waiting with San Martin

and at the yell of Freedom!!

freedom was beginning

Since child I learned

in the history books

and now that I understand by thinking,

why so much glory

look, I stand up

to revere its memory
