Composed by Carlos Bonavita - Alfredo Zitarrosa
Vidalita remember José Artigas,
And get a sweet taste in your mouth when you say it.
In the track of a century thrown into oblivion by others,
Who lied about the ordeals of the betrayed.
In the old track, vidalitay,
I am searching for you,
Along with Lavalleja, vidalitay,
I want to hear you go.
Into José Artigas’ track, first
and take off your hat, as you say it.
Lararailaira, lararairá,
and take off your hat, as you say it.
Eastern vidalita, distant and pure,
sing it to the motherland without bitterness.
There is no other track, canejo, than Artigas’,
And risk your neck, when you follow it.
Lonely motherland, vidalitay,
Lonely and mute motherland,
Break the silence, vidalitay,
We are going to help you.
To help you, ay, paisanos!, ride your unbroken horses;
We are holding hands, the unbroken horses.
Lararairara, lailararará;
We are holding hands, the eastern people.
