El carretero

No life is more dragged
Than that of the poor cart driver
With the whip in hand
Whipping the front ox
Front one, ox, ox, ox!
(Whistling decreasing)
Larará, la, la, la, lalero (ox, ox)
La, la, ra, ra, ra, ra; la, ra, ra, la, la, la

Companion of my life
I carry my whip
Vertigo doesn't break
Without a good white whip
Good white whip, ox, ox, ox!
(Whistling decreasing)
Larará... La, la, la, lalero (ox, ox)
La, la, ra, ra, ra, ra; la, ra, ra, la, la, la

I left Montevideo
Heading home
My wife must be saying
My husband brings nonsense
Nonsense, ox, ox, ox!
(Whistling decreasing)
Larará, la, la, la, lalero (ox, ox)
La, la, ra, ra, ra, ra; la, ra, ra, la, la, la
Red one, red one, ox, ox, ox!
