Juan Payé

They call me Juan Payé
and also Caurerí,
I'm from Taraguí,
to serve you.

Tiger hunter and tamer,
I'm a gaucho from the countryside,
I have a faithful woman,
who offered me her love.

At dawn, my barbecue and my bitter drinks
and right after I go to the corral,
where there are almost always tasks,
to calm down the bucking of a wild horse.
During the day, I lasso whatever comes my way;
at night, I'm Juan Payé again,
I dress up nicely, and on my dark horse with my woman,
we go together to dance the chámame.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Ah, my Taraguí porá!
accordion and baracá,
wow!, double strumming.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

A little trot here,
a turn over there,
well danced it is.

(Repeat).
