 Vuela, Vuela, Pajarillo, a las regiones cerúleas a respirar el aliento de la vida, donde las rayadas del Acábera no pueda turbar tu reposo. Sube! Hiende los espacios, y desde la altura envíale un tierno Adiós a vuestro acongojado Ignacio, que queda solitario en este lóbrego cementerio de Tuyuti.

Fly away, little bird, to the heavenly regions, to breathe the air of life, where foul winds will not disturb your rest. Rise! Break through the skies, and from the heights give a faithful goodbye to your beloved Ignacio, who remains alone in the grim cemetery of Tuyuti.
