Ya Se Van

They're Leaving Now

Ya Se Van

They're leaving now, they're on their wayYa se van, ya están yendo
They're leaving and they won't come backSe van y no volverán
They won't have the urgeNo van a quedarles ganas
To sail back hereDe navegar hasta acá
Even though they won the battleAunque ganaron la batalla
They still have to negotiateIgual tienen que negociar

They're leaving our riverYa se van de nuestro río
Even though they were strongerAunque ellos eran más
They had cannonsEllos tenían cañones
We had a hunger for freedomNosotros hambre de libertad

And now they'll tell the worldY al mundo dirán ahora
That by force they won't succeedQue por la fuerza ya no podrán
They're leaving and that's what mattersYa se van y es lo que importa
We lost men, but the country wonPerdimos hombres, ganó el país
No one will dareYa nadie podrá atreverse
To threaten us with invasionA amenazarnos con invadir

No empire will be boldNingún imperio va a animarse
If we stand our ground like thisSi nos plantamos así
They're leaving and they were two powersYa se van y eran dos potencias
Used to giving ordersAcostumbradas a ordenar
To decide by forceA decidir por la fuerza
That's what the others will doQue es lo que harán los demás

They didn't know that ArgentinaNo sabían que la Argentina
Will no longer be a colonyColonia no será más
