Pilcomayeño

I am pure Pilcomayo
Chaqueño at heart
I'm not mixed with anyone
I have no owner, sir
I'm not mixed with anyone
I have no owner, sir

On the banks of the Pilcomayo
Trying not to be able
I struggle when I can't
And when I can too
I struggle when I can't
And when I can too

I will always be Pilcomayo
Always alone and without an owner
I will return to sing
My beloved Pilcomayo
I will never forget you

If life were to return
Joyful to sing
Why would I want to live it
If my custom is to suffer
Why would I want to live it
If my custom is to suffer

I give my sorrows to the river
When carnival arrives
But as soon as it takes them away
I see others coming
But as soon as it takes them away
I see others coming

I will always be Pilcomayo
Always alone and without an owner
I will return to sing
My beloved Pilcomayo
I will never forget you
