Rio Grande Meu Pampa
Jorge Marino
Rio Grande My Pampa
When the gauchos from the fields of the South
Remember secrets of their loves
Having as a companion
The dark gourd that passes from hand to hand
They remember the ribbon dances
The hot southern afternoons of my homeland
They talk about love, freedom
About the birds' songs decorating the summer
They talk about love, freedom (love, freedom)
About the birds' songs decorating the summer (ah, ah, ah)
Fly, fly free heart (fly free heart)
Fly freely through the air
Secrets and my passions travel (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
My Rio Grande, I will sing to you
This homeland of mine that I sing in verses
In my immersed dreams bring me back to childhood
Roping the still bull (roping the still bull)
Or on a small horseback I still feel like a child
Times have changed now
Preserving the past present in my memories
I inherited this brave Brazilian homeland
Rio Grande my pampa
I inherited this brave Brazilian homeland (hey brave Brazilian homeland)
Rio Grande my pampa (ah, ah, ah)
Fly, fly free heart (fly free heart)
Fly freely through the air
Secrets and my passions travel (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
My Rio Grande, I will sing to you
Secrets and my passions travel
My Rio Grande, I will sing to you (I will sing)
