Letra del Milonga Milonga del

Milonga del Centenario
Milonga blanca y azul,
Suenan las notas del himno
Pueblo argentino, salud!

Hoy la patria cumple años
Que los cumplas muy feliz,
Al rasguear de las guitarras
Y al compás del tamboril.

La gran aldea
Despierta ya,
Viva milonga
Gloria de mayo,
La libertad…!

En las banderas
Se alegra el sol,
La patria es linda,
La patria es linda
Será mejor…!

English lyrics of the Milonga "Milonga del"

Centennial Milonga
Milonga white and blue,
The notes of the anthem sound
Argentine people, salute!

Today the nation celebrates
May you be very happy,
With the strum of guitars
And the beat of the drum.

The great village
Wakes up now,
Long live milonga
Glory of May,
Freedom…!

On the banners
The sun rejoices,
The nation is beautiful,
The nation is beautiful
It will be better…!
