Argentina is the Place

Popular Argentine song. lyrics and music by Manrique

I found this in a book in the house where I stayed in Tigre…

If you want to know
the planet in one spot
there is a country in South America
where you can share
all the colour, all the flavour, all the love.

Autumn in Spring
and in Summer sun and snow
mountains, forests, rivers
and compliments in the voice;

America in history
Europe in the city
East and West:
Argentina is the place of different emotions
where you can behold
smiles of people who are able to dream

When you return home everybody will ask you:
- Where have you stopped in the sun,
and filled your Heart
with colour, flavour, love?

Simply you will say
among dreams and reality
that was living with imagination
in the centre of the planet:
Argentina
