Galopera

In a neighborhood of Asunción people come people go
The drum is already calling, the gallop is about to begin
February third has arrived and the patron Mr. San Blas
Entertains the function the band of Trinidad
Under the thatched roof the circle is already formed
And the galopera comes out, the galopa to dance
Wearing the qyguavera earrings with three pendants
Seven branch rings and a coral rosary

Galopera dance your bewitching dance
Galopera move your bare feet
Swaying your waist in your promise of love

The dark-skinned galopera of the indolatina lineage
Wears two flowery braids and wears the yeguá tpoi
On her proud head she carries a native jug
Water for the pilgrim the beautiful mitacuña
And so the function continues to the rhythm of the galopa
The cheerful notes of the piston sound
While the buzz of the bass drum and cymbals is heard
The trombone complains and the drum beats

Galopera continue your bewitching dance
Galopera I am your ardent dreamer
Give me a little fresh water from your love jug
Give me a little fresh water from your love jug
