Lyrics

Translation

Un rancho atierrao al lao de un ombú

A land settled beside an ombú tree

Una china más criolla que el mate

A woman more Creole than mate

Un caballo que sea una luz

A horse that becomes a light

En vez de facón un perrito fiel

Instead of a dagger, a faithful little dog

Y un saludo con un beso

And a greeting with a kiss

Reboleao desde muy lejos

Thrown from afar

Con cariño de mujer

With affection from a woman


Tuito en un campo alfombrao

All in a carpeted field

De puros cardos en flor

Of pure thistles in bloom

Y un petiso pelo pampa

And a small, pampas-haired horse

Pa'que monte cuando nazca

So it can mount when born

Con mi mesma estampa

With my same image

El primer varón

The first-born son


Venga pueblero mi fueye

Come, townsfolk, my accordion

A disputar mía traición

To challenge my betrayal

Una china y un perrito

A woman and a little dog

Un curito el chupetito

A small wine bottle, the pacifier

Y ese rancho de barro

And that mud hut

Mientras viva yo

As long as I live
