Chamamé do Gaúcho

(hey,

come on now!)

My sweet granddaughter took my hand and smiled

Said, Grandpa, sing a song across the wild

Put down the city beats

and play the strings

Let's hear the simple joy the country brings (play it loud now)

Dance, dance,

let the rhythm start

Grandpa and his girl with a happy heart!

Raise your hands up to the open sky

Watch the dust

turn as the horses fly!

Oh dear grandpa, play that country tune

Underneath the golden southern moon! (yeah!)

I am just an old soul

with boots on the floor

Playing ten strings like the masters of yore From the pampas winds

to the dancing crowd

We make the old folks proud!

(spin around now!)

Dance, dance,

let the rhythm start

Grandpa and his girl with a happy heart!

Raise your hands up to the open sky

Watch the dust

turn as the horses fly!

Oh dear grandpa,

strike that silver ring

Hear the whole wide valley sing!

(hear it sing!)

(hahaha,

that's how we do it out here)

(love you, my girl)
