Letra del Vals La entrerriana

Hermosa entrerriana de los ojos negros

Y de talle esbelto como la palmera,

Son tus labios rojos cual la flor del ceibo

Y como azabache es tu cabellera.

Tú eres, entrerriana, la flor perfumada

La adorada imagen de viva expresión,

Eres el encanto de la paisanada

Eres de Entre Ríos, la veneración.



Fuiste tú entrerriana, la que liberaste

A tu hermosa patria de aquel opresor,

Fuiste tú entrerriana, que la despojaste

De aquellas cadenas que eran el terror.

Por eso al recuerdo de tu valentía

Vibra mi vihuela y mi corazón,

Porque tú eres ninfa de la patria mía

Eres sol radiante de su pabellón.



Sol resplandeciente del cielo entrerriano

Mujer adorada, estrella del sud,

Criolla que venero con placer ufano

Hada que encantaste, mi pobre laúd.

Por eso te canto ¡Oh, criolla divina!

Entrerriana hermosa, mujer ideal,

Gloria de Entre Ríos, patricia argentina

De las madres criollas más tradicional.

English lyrics of the Vals "La entrerriana"

Beautiful woman from Entre Ríos with the dark eyes

And slender figure like a palm tree,

Your lips are red like the ceibo flower

And your hair as dark as jet.

You are, woman from Entre Ríos, the fragrant flower

The adored image of vivid expression,

You are the charm of the countryside

You are of Entre Ríos, the veneration.



It was you, woman from Entre Ríos, who freed

Your beautiful homeland from that oppressor,

It was you, woman from Entre Ríos, who stripped it

From those chains that were the terror.

Therefore, at the memory of your bravery

My guitar vibrates and so does my heart,

Because you are a nymph of my homeland

You are the radiant sun of its flag.



Shining sun of the Entre Ríos sky

Adored woman, star of the south,

Creole whom I revere with proud pleasure

Fairy who enchanted, my poor lute.

That’s why I sing to you, oh divine Creole!

Beautiful woman from Entre Ríos, ideal woman,

Glory of Entre Ríos, Argentinian noblewoman

The most traditional of the Creole mothers.
