Lyrics

Español

Uruguaya, reina de las Diosas, por tu garbo y tu gracia gentil, yo te ofrezco un palacio de rosas con dinteles de oro y marfil. ¡Por qué no amar, si es mi querer el mirarme en tus ojos de hada y embriagarme de dicha y placer! Un palacio, uruguaya, que encierra el ensueño, la dicha, el amor; donde unir nuestro encanto quisiera con tus besos de extraño calor. ¡Por qué no amar, si es mi querer el mirarme en tus ojos de hada y embriagarme de dicha y placer! En mi alma te llevo prendida mi tesoro, mi Estro, mi ideal; y serás la mujer preferida que amaré, ¡oh, mi Reina Oriental!

English · machine translation

Uruguayan, queen of the Goddesses, for your panache and your gentle grace, I offer you a palace of roses with lintels of gold and ivory. Why not to love, if it is my desire to look into your fairy eyes and intoxicate me with joy and pleasure! A palace, Uruguayan girl, that encloses the reverie, the joy, the love; where I would like to unite our enchantment with your kisses of strange warmth. Why not to love if it is my desire to look into your fairy eyes and intoxicate me with joy and pleasure! In my soul I hold you fast my treasure, my Estro, my ideal; and you will be the favorite woman that I will love, oh, my Oriental Queen!
