La Vuelta de Obligado (Triunfo)

Ninety merchant shipsNoventa buques mercantes
Twenty warships, twenty warshipsVeinte de guerra, veinte de guerra

They come crashing upVienen topando arriba
Our waters, our watersLas aguas nuestras, las aguas nuestras

Twenty warships comeVeinte de guerra vienen
With their flags, with their flagsCon sus banderas, con sus banderas

The narrows of quebrachoAngosturas del quebracho
They won't pass here, they won't pass hereDe aquí no pasan, de aquí no pasan

I'll throw them to the gringosQué los tiro a los gringos
A great seven'Juna gran siete
Sailing so many seasNavegar tantos mares
Coming to nothingVenirse al cuete
What do I say, coming to nothing!¡Qué digo venirse al cuete!

Oh my, with the FrenchAhijuna con los franceses
Who could handle them, who could handle themQuién los pudiera, quién los pudiera

Let's see, you Pascual EchagüeA ver, vos pascual echagüe
Governors, governorsGobernadores, gobernadores

Don't let the French passQue no pasen los franceses
Paraná to the north, Paraná to the northParaná al norte, Paraná al norte

Pascual Echagüe measures themPascual echagüe los mide
Mansilla kills them, Mansilla kills themMansilla los mata, mansilla los mata

I'll throw them to the gringosQué los tiro a los gringos
A great seven'Juna gran siete
Sailing so many seasNavegar tantos mares
Coming to nothingVenirse al cuete
What do I say, coming to nothing!¡Qué digo venirse al cuete!
