Chipera Luque, beautiful landChipera Luque hesa hüetéva
where the sun riseshera voíva chemopirí
children play in the streetsemombe´ú na chéve nde réra
Chipera Luque, my townchipera Luque jurupemi

I remember the old daysOike che akãme ñepohanoicha
when we used to walk barefoottapurahéike ndéve ra´e
and the wind would bring us joyha che kúnguygui péina heñoima
in the shade of the treesnde reraitépe ijapopyre

At twelve o'clock the train arrivesAiporumíro ku tren las doce
and the earth tremblesha yvytu piári aséro aha
Luque station welcomes usañembojávo Luque estación-pe
with open armsndéve raéke toro hecha

I miss the old daysPynandimínte jepiveguáicha
the smell of flowerschipa porãme che ruguaïti
and the sound of the birdsha tahecháke nde avakuápe
rosemary, clove, and patchouliclavel, romero ha pacholi

In the vineyard, under the grapevinesNde pyti´áre mosto hyrúpe
and the old wine cellarha ne rembére parral aju
I remember Chipera Luquechénte ahecháma chipera Luque
and my heart aches!ha ha´uségui che ãkãnundu!

In my memoriesNde resahügui che korazöme
I see the old folkspaje oñe´éva che angaiparã
sitting under the treenéina po´a taipoty che pópe
and telling storiesha nderehe tache rerakuã
