Soy El Chamamé

I could see when yesterday
was a distant death rattle
that was born in Yapeyú,
almost a river, I am your brother.

There is no exile for me
I am the 'I am' of our people
the roots and the passion,
I am the soul of Corrientes.

Chorus:

I am the chamamé
the land without evil
let me sing in your heart
I want to see the light of your freedom
and then fly
in the splendor
of your sapukai.

I am a friend, a village child
that frolics in the dance hall
a lightning bolt of love,
I am your singing heart.

There is no exile for me
I am the 'I am' of our people
the roots and the passion,
I am the soul of Corrientes.
