Canto Alegretense

Don't ask me where Alegrete is
Follow the path of your own heart
You will cross some horseman on the road
And you will hear the sound of harmonica and guitar

For those arriving from Rosario in the late afternoon
Or who comes from Uruguaiana in the morning
The Sun is like an ember that still burns
Diving in the Ibirapuitã River

Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian singing
From this land that I loved since I was a kid
Tuna flower, camoatim of country honey
Moorish stone from the Inhanduy ravines

Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian singing
From this land that I loved since I was a kid
Tuna flower, camoatim of country honey
Moorish stone from the Inhanduy ravines

And in the final hour that I deserve
Watch the sun set in Alegrete
Like the colts, I will turn my head
For those paid at the time of death

And in my eyes I will carry the enchantment
From this land that I loved with devotion
Every verse I compose is a payment
From a debt of love and gratitude

Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian singing
From this land that I loved since I was a kid
Tuna flower, camoatim of country honey
Moorish stone from the Inhanduy ravines

Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian singing
From this land that I loved since I was a kid
Tuna flower, camoatim of country honey
Moorish stone from the Inhanduy ravines

Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian singing
From this land that I loved since I was a kid
Tuna flower, camoatim of country honey
Moorish stone from the Inhanduy ravines
