La Pelota De Cuero
Raúl Lavié
The Leather Ball
We have well hidden
On an islet of the Ibera,
A great space base
Hidden from the spies.
A fork of niandubay
That will fill us with glory
We will throw the strongest
Ondazo in history!
With that big slingshot
Pulled by five mules,
In a leather ball
We send three gauchos to the moon.
Tunicho and Cresencio Reguera,
The mustached and candoroso Laguna.
Amidst the commotion of poncho and mane
The leather ball is reaching the moon...
