El Gaucho Martin Fierro

Si hemos de salvar o no,
de esto naides nos responde;
derecho ande el sol se esconde
tierra adentro hay que tirar;
algún día hemos de llegar-
después sabremos a dónde.

Shall we save ourselves,
No one guarantees that;
Westward hides the Sun,
Far inland we should go;
Some day we'll arrive -
And learn where we are.


Fierro and his friend Cruz decide to leave civilization. Argentine epic poem and economic plan.
