Manuela, La Tucumana

Buenos Aires doesn't sleepNo duerme buenos aires
The fuses burnLas mechas arden
The fuses burnLas mechas arden

Forty thousand brave onesCuarenta mil valientes
Only one cowardSólo un cobarde
Only one cowardSólo un cobarde

With a rifle of sparksCon un fusil de chispas
And a lot of desireY muchas ganas
And a lot of desireY muchas ganas

Doña Manuela foughtPeleó doña manuela
The TucumanaLa tucumana
The TucumanaLa tucumana

The females have foughtLas hembras han peleado
Like menComo varones
Like menComo varones

The pots in their handsLas ollas en sus manos
Were cannonsFueron cañones
Were cannonsFueron cañones

Damn those who comeMalaya los que vengan
As enemiesComo enemigos
As enemiesComo enemigos

We will have to chase themHabremos de correrlos
Like these gringosComo a estos gringos
Like these gringosComo a estos gringos

This triumph was wonEste triunfo ganaron
