Alfonso Loma

Alfonso Loma, that's the name
That place called javy'aha
Among the green fields that exist
The well-known Ykua Porã
There's a lagoon that brings us joy
It's called Tapirãkuãi
The little birds of a thousand colors
Are found there, there's everything

In the fence and the thicket
You can hear the sad cheysyhasy
Telling its partner sadly
You’re the reason I feel so low
And the doves all together
Take flight as it gets dark
They move together and rest there
Sad beloved of the tapere

The chiricote that brightens the dawn
Accompanied by the kogoe
Always proud and haughty
Also feels jakavere
In the high mountain it flies away
A rare bird, suruku'a
Telling its friends sadly
Don't leave me behind, please!

The piriritas also complain
And sadly leave the mbokaja
And I lament my suffering
For the hope I’m losing now
In those blooming mountains
You can see from afar tajy poty
The lilies and sugarcane flowers
Rich aroma, my flower

The tero-tero that was on alert
On the banks of the Ypucú
Guarding the nest with hunger and zeal
From the hawks and tujuju
On the banks of the streams
They sing loudly, ypaka'a
Calling out to their partner
Come here, let’s meet up!

The sweet affectionate words
He'ietéva my dear
And her cheeks rosy
Pretty alfonsera girl
I say goodbye, heartbroken
I’m leaving now, my life
Goodbye, charming dove
My lovely nere'êtéva!
