El Chulengo

From Villa Mercedes I am
A true Cuyo kitten
From Villa Mercedes I am
A true Cuyo kitten

I always go in the early morning
With my countrymen around
Having a drink and singing
On serenade nights

Where there's a party, I'm there
With my guitar ready, off I go
I'm friends with all the country folks
Rolling joints, I become a singer

Simple and hardworking; I stand up for my friends
I like to hang out and I'm a night owl
A cueca; a milonga; a folk song
Lots of wine and empanadas, nobody lives like me!
They already know where I come from and they call me the chulengo

I come from San Luis, from my hometown of Mercedes
I come from San Luis, from my hometown of Mercedes
Where the streets are narrow and the Quinto River too
With the San Luis drovers; and
