Río de La Plata [English translation]

Silver river

With tears in my eyes I moved farther and farther away

I lived through the hardship of

Leaving everything behind

The people of my neighborhood

Having to take off all alone

From my land one day

When I was a girl

Leaving it all behind

Because of my fantasies

I hail from the silver river

Latin heart

I am a true [dancer] of candombe

I always wear a smile

With my dreams on my back

I have no borders

I hail from the silver river

Long live hot blooded candombe

The rhythm that ignites my soul

That shines in the eyes of all my people

The tears in my eyes

Started going away

I flew by so many pathways

And without my knowing

I almost touched heaven

Today I sing to the world

With all the strength

I carry inside:

That it's worthwhile

To strive for a dream!!

I hail from the silver river

Latin heart...

Fulfilling a dream

Can change your life

I grew

Searching for luck

Day dreaming

And stripping away wounds

Today I know that although I've come so far

Searching for fate

I am still the same

Within my soul

My beloved land

I hail from the silver river

Latin heart

I am a true [dancer] of candombe

I always wear a smile

With my dreams on my back

I have no borders

I hail from the silver river

Long live hot blooded candombe

The rhythm that ignites my soul

That shines in the eyes of all my people
