Juan Paye

They call me Juan Paye
and also Cahurei'.
I'm from Taragui'
to serve 'ya'...
Tigrero and tamer,
I'm a gaucho from the countryside.
I have a faithful 'guaina'
who offered me her love...

In the early morning, my barbecue and my bitter drinks,
and right after I head to the corral,
where there's almost always work to calm down
the bucking of a wild horse...
During the day, lasso, branding or whatever comes;
in the evening, I'm Juan Paye again.
I dress up nice, and on my dark horse with my 'guaina'
we go together to dance the chamame'.

Ah, my beautiful Taragui'!
accordion and 'mbaraca',
'wow!, double strumming...
A little trot over here,
a turn over there,
well danced it is.
