Oh, the Queen

Emiliano R. Fernandez

Che la Reina

Ajumíko ipahaite che la reina nerendápe
Apurahéi mbarakápe si ahátama katuete
Paraguay niko cheave ahuráva che retãme
Amanóvo hayhupápe a la óra ojofrece

Péina ágã ahendu che renóirõ la corneta
Akaláta bayoneta ha chakopýre asyryry
Ahamitánte amoirû Valinoti-pe ikaturõ
Aloamíne ajuhurõ Rojas Silva kurusu

Ahayhúgui che retã che la reina rohejáta
Frontera lado aháta ahyguãtîvo umi ava
Ndaipotánte che kamba che myakÿ nde resaýpe
Aipotánte ere che sýpe heta tacherovasa

Che fusil je oime ipotî che rechaséma je hina
Prevención-pe catalina tereho che ruguãitî
Rehecháne guaraní hekove odespresiáva
López ra'yre opytáva bajo el sagrado poyvi

Ikatúnte aju jevy ndahái katuete amanóvo
Ndékena che ra'arõvo siempre firme nde poty
Che araha iñongatupy koã che korasõ kuape
Amoite ñorairõhape ne angue che Tupãsy

Amalája atopa al famoso Tejerina
Inambikue ko che china ndéve ahechaukava'erã
Ha upépe terehecha la bravura guaraní
Oimévaha gueteri López ra'yre opyta

Aimerõ en parapiti amoguãhêne nde apysápe
Che ñe'êmi kuatiápe ne'irãha asapymi
Ha ndekena eñapytî ko verso ndéve ahejáva
Topurahéi ndéve ijára el soldado guaraní

Oh, the Queen

I’m calling out to you, my queen, in the night
With a song in my heart, I’ll always be true
Paraguay, my love, I’ll stand for you
In the hour of need, I’ll be there for you

Now I hear your voice, like a trumpet’s call
With a blade in hand, I’ll fight for us all
I’ll stand strong, like Valinoti, I won’t fall
I’ll raise my voice, like Rojas Silva, I’ll stand tall

I love my land, my queen, I’ll never stray
On the border, I’ll be there, come what may
I won’t let you down, I’ll fight for your grace
I’ll only ask you to keep me in your embrace

My rifle’s ready, I’ll never back down
In prevention, I’ll guard my hometown
Don’t dismiss the Guarani life that we’ve found
Under sacred ground, López’s son stands proud

I’ll always return, I won’t let you down
With you in my heart, I’ll always stand my ground
My spirit’s strong, my heart beats loud
In every battle, I’ll call on you, my God

I’ll find you, famous Tejerina, I swear
With my heart in hand, I’ll show you I care
And there you’ll see the Guarani’s might
Still standing strong, under López’s light

If you want, I’ll bring you to my side
My words in writing, I’ll never hide
And you’ll see, this verse is for you, my pride
I’ll sing for you, my soldier, with love as my guide
