Mataco Diaz

They say that over in Campo Gallo Mataco Diaz will be found
He shines like the morning star, never getting tired of staying up late
They say that over in Campo Gallo Mataco Diaz will be found
From party to party, he likes to go, his whereabouts are fun
Barefoot, he starts tapping his feet, dancing cheers up his heart

And if he doesn't run out of wine, he'll stay a little longer
If a woman tries to entangle him, he never says yes or no
He's as distrustful as the Chajá to give away his heart
He lives in sorrow for the forgetfulness of a woman who enamored him

As a wanderer, Mataco Diaz forgets to return
And if he doesn't go back to his ranch, there's surely a party somewhere
As a wanderer, Mataco Diaz forgets to return
He won't wait to be invited, he won't miss any opportunity

He disappears without warning and returns when the sun has risen
And from the side of the road, dawn will find him
For the carnival times, he has no direction, wandering around
They see him there, chopping away the sorrows of his heart

They say that over in Campo Gallo, Mataco Diaz will be found
