Vidalita remember José Artigas
And sweeten your mouth when you say it
To the footprint of a century that others erased
Lying the martyrdoms of the betrayed
To the old footprint, vidalitay
I'm looking for you
With Lavalleja 1, vidalitay
I want to hear you walking
To the footprint, first, of José Artigas
And take off your hat when you say it
Lararailaira, lararairá
And take off your hat when you say it
Eastern vidalita, far and pure
Sing to the homeland without bitterness
There's no other footprint like Artigas one
And risk your neck when you follow it
Lonely homeland, vidalitay
Lonely and silent
Break your silence, vidalitay
We're going to help you
To help you, oh countrymen!, ride horses
We go hand in hand the easterns
Lararairara, lailararará
We go hand in hand the easterns
1. Juan Antonio Lavalleja, Uruguayan militar, supporter of Artigas and later leader of the 33 Orientals
