¡NO HAY TIERRA COMO LA MÍA!
(1939)

No hay tierra como la mía
Y esta milonga les canto,
Y esta milonga les canto
Y si alguien me desafía
Le juego dándole tantos...

Soy un criollo de avería
Que el mundo fui recorriendo,
Que el mundo fui recorriendo
Y al final vine diciendo:
“No hay tierra como la mía”...

Yo he zapateao por el mapa
Y esta milonga les canto,
Y esta milonga les canto
Pero, muchachos, la papa
Está aquí, les paso el santo...

He visto rubias sedeñas*
Y morenas tentadoras,
Y morenas tentadoras
Pero como las porteñas
No he visto tan seductoras...

He andado siempre sonriente
Entre malos y entre buenos,
Entre malos y entre buenos
Debe ser manso y prudente
Quien anda en pagos ajenos...

Y pa´terminar les digo
Que esta milonga se acaba,
Que se acaba les decía...
Muchachos, griten conmigo:
“No hay tierra como la mía...”

THERE IS NO LAND LIKE MINE

There is no land like mine
And I sing you this milonga
And I sing you this milonga
And if anyone challenges me
All credit to him

I am a tough criollo*
Who had been travelling the world
Who had been travelling the world
And in the end concluded,
There’s no land like mine…

I have hoofed* it across the map
And I sing you this milonga
And I sing you this milonga
But, guys, let me give you a tip,
Here’s the place to be!..

I’ve seen some platinum* blondes
And tempting brunettes,
And tempting brunettes,
But I’ve never seen any as seductive
As Buenos Aires women.

I’ve always had a smile
Despite the good or bad
Despite the good or bad
You should be gentle and careful
When you’re in someone else’s country…

And to finish what I tell you
As this milonga comes to an end
As I finish telling you…
Everyone, shout with me:
There is no land like mine!

*criollo – Argentine of Spanish descent
*hoof – lit. foot of a horse or cow. Colloquially, in English, a hoofer means a dancer. To hoof it means to dance.
*sedeña – lit. relating to a finer quality of flax, flaxen
