Canto Oriental

Eastern song, friendly song
Singing a thousand times
The roosters' bugle sounds
When the morning comes
And as Benedetti says
The song is not over
Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over.

Eastern song, friendly song
Wind that moves the wheat
Place in Artigas' hands
A lifted heart
That is needed like the wheat
For the freshly baked bread

Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over
Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over.

Eastern song, friendly song
A traveler of this time
For those who remain inside
And write your poetry
Eastern at dawn
For the children of Viglietti
And as Benedetti says
The song is not over.

Not even a hint, not even a color
Zitarrosa is singing
Not even a hint, not even a color
For an Uruguay without an owner
Not even a hint, not even a color
The people from Olimar sing
Not even a hint, not even a color
Singing the skinny Viglietti
Not even a hint, not even a color
Zitarrosa is singing
Not even a hint, not even a color
For an Uruguay
Without an owner
Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over.
