Buenos Aires…
Dresses up majestically in splendor,
The white and blue, waving under the sun,
The huge crowd sings this song.
Vito Dumas, sailor, solitary captain,
Your compass is to reach, your north is the helm,
Steel and willpower in your heart.
The edge of the world, sky, sea, and light
Rocks in the depths of the blue abyss.
Stronger than a titan,
Stronger than pain,
Confident and fearless, rowing he goes…
The storm approaches, water, wind, and sea
He steers his schooner, in an unequal fight,
The storm intensifies,
Small is his helm,
Great love encourages him continually…
From pole to pole, resounding goes
The most glorious name the sea gave us,
Unmatched feats, deeds of emotion
The voice of the heart is singing.
The starlight and the Southern Cross
Twinkle even more beautifully in his blue night,
The absence of a love
Grows in dreaming,
The maternal kiss, return, return…
