Río de la Plata

The Río de la Plata (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈriːo ðe la ˈplata], River of Silver) — rendered River Plate in British English and the Commonwealth and La Plata River (occasionally Plata River) in other English-speaking countries — is the river and estuary formed by the confluence of the Uruguay and the Paraná rivers. It empties into the Atlantic Ocean, forming a funnel-shaped indentation on the southeastern coastline of South America.

The river is about 290 kilometres (180 mi) long, and it widens from about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) at its source to about 220 kilometres (140 mi) at its mouth. It forms part of the border between Argentina and Uruguay, with the major ports and capital cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo on its western and northern shores, respectively. The coasts of La Plata are the most densely populated areas of Argentina and Uruguay.

Geography

The Río de la Plata begins at the confluence of the Uruguay and Paraná rivers at Punta Gorda and flows eastward into the South Atlantic Ocean. No clear physical boundary marks the river's eastern end; the International Hydrographic Organization defines the eastern boundary of the Río de la Plata as "a line joining Punta del Este, Uruguay and Cabo San Antonio, Argentina".

to you i am the smoke that will make you sick
the teasing scar that will make you itch
the burning fire underneath your skin
could i be your downfall
but, nothing ever slips away
and nothing ever just fades away
five kings playing - so turn on the lights
five kings playing - your songs tonight
and it's one love, one hate, one heart,
one fate, one blood
with no plastic glove we're shaking hands
all the radiopilots that have fastened their chartbelts
they're playing your favourite songs tonight
still i say the words that will make you sick
an open wound that will never heal
i'll crash your world and will leave it torn
could i be your downfall
but, nothing ever slips away
and nothing ever just fades away
nothing ever slips away
something's always here to stay
five kings playing - so turn on the lights
five kings playing - your songs tonight
and it's one love, one hate, one heart,
one fate, one blood
with no plastic glove we're shaking hands
all the radiopilots that have fastened their chartbelts
they're playing your favourite songs tonight
what do you wait for to reachyour highscore
even if it's parttime at its best
go get your ass up cause now you can't stop
reach the point of no return no time to rest
five kings playing - so turn on the lights
five kings playing - your songs tonight
and it's one love, one hate, one heart,
one fate, one blood
with no plastic glove we're shaking hands
all the radiopilots that have fastened their chartbelts
