Acosta Ñu

There in my land, bordering the hillAllá en mi tierra, bordeando el monte
Spreads the field of Acosta ÑuSe extiende el campo de Acosta Ñu
Flourishing plain that in its silenceLlano florido que en su silencio
Recalls that Great WarRecuerda aquella Guerra Guasu

Old trenches cross its valleysCruzan sus valles, viejas trincheras
Full of traditional gloryLlenas de gloria tradicional
As in the seventies the shadows riseComo en el setenta se alzan las sombras
Of those brave ParaguayansDe aquellos bravos del Paraguay

I would like to sing to you about your heroic pastYo quisiera cantarte tu heroico pasado
The great epic of a virile peopleLa gran epopeya de un pueblo viril
Piece of land the color of hopePedacito de tierra color de esperanza
Relic of Guarani glory and honorReliquia de gloria y honor Guaraní

Yukyry is sailing through your sleepy valleyYukyry va surcando tu valle dormido
It was the silent witness of your KurusuFue el mudo testigo de tu Kurusu
And in a hundred tenacious struggles, their cruel resistanceY en cien luchas tenaces, su cruel resistencia
The heroes of your Acosta Ñu put forthPusieron los héroes de tu Acosta Ñu

Breasts of steel and heartsPechos de acero y corazones
Stepped py'aguasuEscalonaron py' aguasu
And even the children of young bloodY hasta los niños de sangre joven
Gave themselves for Acosta ÑuDieron en aras de Acosta Ñu

Children, elders, all fellNiños, ancianos, todos cayeron
To the oath of dying beforeAl juramento de antes morir
Only one thing remained in its placeSolo una cosa quedó en su puesto
The heroic race of the GuaraniLa raza heroica del Guaraní

I would like to sing to you about your heroic pastYo quisiera cantarte tu heroico pasado
The great epic of a virile peopleLa gran epopeya de un pueblo viril
Piece of land the color of hopePedacito de tierra color de esperanza
Relic of Guarani glory and honorReliquia de gloria y honor Guaraní

Yukyry is sailing through your sleepy valleyYukyry va surcando tu valle dormido
It was the silent witness of your KurusuFue el mudo testigo de tu Kurusu
And in a hundred tenacious struggles, their cruel resistanceY en cien luchas tenaces, su cruel resistencia
The heroes of your Acosta ÑuPusieron los héroes de tu Acosta Ñu
