Chote de don Tatú

Dressed up and with his little blue collar,
partying with some Californias,
Mr. Tatú passed by.

And on the way, he ran into a rhea,
who was an old acquaintance,
by the shores of Cuñá-pirú.

The rhea decided at the cockfight,
as he had in his bags
a pretty blue twist.

But a thorn caught Mr. Tatú's attention,
when he eyed the approach
of a light-colored horse.

The Californias from Cerro del Ombú
brought bugs from very far away,
there were even some from Paysandú.
