Che la Reina

I’m calling out to you, my queen, in the night
With a song in my heart, I’ll always be true
Paraguay, my love, I’ll stand for you
In the hour of need, I’ll be there for you

Now I hear your voice, like a trumpet’s call
With a blade in hand, I’ll fight for us all
I’ll stand strong, like Valinoti, I won’t fall
I’ll raise my voice, like Rojas Silva, I’ll stand tall

I love my land, my queen, I’ll never stray
On the border, I’ll be there, come what may
I won’t let you down, I’ll fight for your grace
I’ll only ask you to keep me in your embrace

My rifle’s ready, I’ll never back down
In prevention, I’ll guard my hometown
Don’t dismiss the Guarani life that we’ve found
Under sacred ground, López’s son stands proud

I’ll always return, I won’t let you down
With you in my heart, I’ll always stand my ground
My spirit’s strong, my heart beats loud
In every battle, I’ll call on you, my God

I’ll find you, famous Tejerina, I swear
With my heart in hand, I’ll show you I care
And there you’ll see the Guarani’s might
Still standing strong, under López’s light

If you want, I’ll bring you to my side
My words in writing, I’ll never hide
And you’ll see, this verse is for you, my pride
I’ll sing for you, my soldier, with love as my guide
