Hay que ser correntino
Me escape para Corrientes a pescar un zurubí,
como no saqué ninguno terminé en Itatí,
A la virgen le pedía me pudiera hacer feliz,
como no soy correntina me parece que perdí.
En Corrientes todo va, en Corrientes puede ser,
no saqué ningún dorado pero ya voy a volver,
En corrientes el chipá con el mate que placer,
y su gente divertida me dan ganas de volver,
Horas y horas en la lancha y ni un pique me ha tocao
tanta mala suerte tuve que el día estaba sombrao
si yo fuera correntina no se me hubiera escapao
el dorado que una vuelta se burló de mi saltando.
En Corrientes todo va, en Corrientes puede ser,
no saqué ningún dorado pero ya voy a volver,
en Corrientes el chipá con el mate que placer,
y su gente divertida me dan ganas de volver.
Gotta Be a Correntino
I escaped to Corrientes to fish for a dorado,
but since I didn't catch any, I ended up in Itatí,
I asked the Virgin to make me happy,
since I'm not from Corrientes, it seems like I lost.
In Corrientes, everything goes, in Corrientes it could be,
I didn't catch any dorado but I'll be back soon,
in Corrientes, chipá with mate, what a pleasure,
and its fun people make me want to come back.
Hours and hours on the boat and not a single bite,
so much bad luck that the day was cloudy,
if I were from Corrientes, it wouldn't have escaped me,
the dorado that once mocked me by jumping.
In Corrientes, everything goes, in Corrientes it could be,
I didn't catch any dorado but I'll be back soon,
in Corrientes, chipá with mate, what a pleasure,
and its fun people make me want to come back.
