Por Quem Cantam Os Cardeais

[Don't worry, cowboy
A countryman never makes mistakes
Who follows the trail of the Sun
Always arrives in Uruguaiana
Who follows the trail of the Sun
Always arrives in Uruguaiana]
Don't worry, cowboy
A countryman never makes mistakes
Who follows the trail of the Sun
Always arrives in Uruguaiana
The path matters little
Alegrete or Itaqui
Because when we return
It doesn't matter where to go
Follows its course and goes away
Where the sun extinguishes the embers
Because those who drink from the Uruguay
Do not live far from home

Cliff dweller and countryman, this my song
Goes in the wind like a message across the field
To this land where I was born and love so much
But I'll return any day, any time

Wherever you go
In the old Aragana fate
Because one does not know Rio Grande
Who has not been to Uruguaiana
When the green of the pastures
Turns golden in the rice fields
You will know in the landscape
For whom the cardinals sing
Follow the path, companion
Where my heart is
You will find some partner
To sing this song

Cliff dweller and countryman, this my song
Goes in the wind like a message across the field
To this land where I was born and love so much
But I'll return any day, any time
