Water in Buenos Aires

Agua en Buenos Aires

A boat sets out to sufferSale un bote a sufrir
It's not like Venice without youNo es como Venecia sin ti

Water hyacinth is floatingCamalote va flotando
Dragged along, unable to swimArrastrado sin poder nadar

And cover it up, ignore ArgentinaY tapa pa' tapar, ignorargentinar
A human lies in bedHumano en el lecho está
Born from sweatNacido del sudor
The little patriot is going backwardVa pa' atrás el patriota petitero

The willow cries, uncutLlora el sauce sin talar
Sucks up the river to its songChupa Atucha río a su canción
Amphibious gaucho in JunínGaucho anfibio en Junín
Scaly bed in federationCama escama en federación

And cover it up, ignore ArgentinaY tapa pa' tapar, ignorargentinar
A human lies in bedHumano en el lecho está
Born from sweatNacido del sudor
The little patriot is going backwardVa pa'atrás el patriota petitero
