Peabiru

Whoever knows could tell me
Where did our gold go
Brazilwood disappeared long ago
From this blessed land
That got into another game
And today it's all soy, corn, and cattle

Whoever knows could tell me
How do I get
The old Peabiru road
That comes from Santa Catarina, Paraná
Paraguay above, and crosses South America

In the promise of an Eldorado
Adventurous souls came
Always seeking horizons
They conquered even mountain ranges
And the Pacific was blue

Whoever knows could tell me
Where did we get into
In this immense border strip
Whose name is no man's land
Where anyone reigns and commands
Where the king can be an outlaw

Whoever knows could tell me
Where did this sound come from
It's kind of like the Altiplano
Where people keep celebrating
The Sun, the Moon, and all that is profane
In tango, charango, guitar, and chamamé

In the promise of an Eldorado
Adventurous souls came
Always seeking horizons
They conquered even mountain ranges
And the Pacific was blue
