To Voltando Pra Ficar

Tonight I saddle up the horse
And I know I'll arrive
To kiss my old mother
My lady and my kids
With my father I'll play cards
In the shade of a fig tree
I'm far from the countryside
I can't bear it anymore
I'll see my friends again
Have a drink at the bar
Send the longing away
I'm coming back to stay

I'm coming back to stay
This is my land
This is my life
This is my place

The simple things in life
A gaucho never forgets
When I'm far from the fields
This heart of mine suffers
Today I return to my beloved land
Blessed land of mine
Only then does joy
Silence my sorrows
When I reach the gate
And my family sees me
I want to shout out loud
I'm coming back to stay

I'm coming back to stay
This is my land
This is my life
This is my place
