Today I sing to you nowHoy aquí te canto ahora
And I want to grow in youY quiero en vos crecer
And take rootY echar raíces
That are longQue sean largas
And encompass youY te abarquen
That wrap around youQue te enrosquen
And squeeze youY te aprieten
Embrace us and caress usNos abracen y acaricien
And tie us togetherY nos aten

To you, cityA vos ,ciudad
I want to claim youQuiero asumirte
Before this worldAnte este mundo
Because you are all the strengthPues sos , todas las fuerzas
In my gutsEn mis entrañas
All the yearningToda el ansia
That I found on that nightQue encontré en aquella noche
And the love that made me smileY el amor que sonreí
That early morningEsa madrugada

To you, cityA vos ,ciudad
To you who areA vos que sos
A sophisticated boutiqueUna boutique sofisticada
The neighborhood I haven't knownEl barrio que no he conocido
A low blowUn golpe bajo
A welcome springboardUn bienvenido trampolín
That always brings me backQue me devuelve siempre

To you whom I love so muchA vos que te amo tanto
To you, I singA vos, te canto

Today I stand here nowHoy aquí me planto ahora
To learn the dialectPara aprender el dialecto
Of my peopleDe mi gente
And vibrating with the feelingY vibrando al sentir
That I am so yoursQue soy tan tuya
