A Estampa do Rio Grande

Enforquilhado in the thick, in a bay horse with short reins
Comes in a mazurka stride hidden under a hat
With a homemade bridle, twisted like a veil
And an old handkerchief waving points the way to the sky

This is the stamp of Rio Grande that I adore
Where I live it's more or less like this
I don't need wealth or luxury
I was born a Gaucho! It's more than good enough for me
This is the stamp of Rio Grande that I adore
Where I live it's more or less like this
I don't need wealth or luxury
I was born a Gaucho! It's more than good enough for me

He has no fixed destination and lives on top of the saddle
Always chooses the most stubborn to put the brake
He rides and plays the accordion, builds corrals and fences
And in the tangle of the bushes, he looks more like a raised cat

This is the stamp of Rio Grande that I adore
Where I live it's more or less like this
I don't need wealth or luxury
I was born a Gaucho! It's more than good enough for me
This is the stamp of Rio Grande that I adore
Where I live it's more or less like this
I don't need wealth or luxury
I was born a Gaucho! It's more than good enough for me

This is the stamp of Rio Grande that I adore
Where I live it's more or less like this
I don't need wealth or luxury
I was born a Gaucho! It's more than good enough for me
This is the stamp of Rio Grande that I adore
Where I live it's more or less like this
I don't need wealth or luxury
I was born a Gaucho! It's more than good enough for me

I was born a Gaucho! It's more than good enough for me
