El Rodeo

From the parties in the Chilean fields,
A rodeo is the best,
Heading out to the pens,
Happy as can be, it's a blast.
Here come the cowboys,
With their steeds,
(showing off their beautiful blankets,
Like cherries on a big cherry tree.) repeat

Now, my friend.

(Throw me a steer by the half-moon,
Next to the flag, I’ll make the catch.) repeat
(and if the mare of fortune slips away,
I’ll just catch her with the red one.) repeat

Ayauayayauuuaa…a…, oh beast, beast, beast,
Running fast, and you’re off,
Don Pancho Hermosilla at the gate,
Señor Sepúlveda and Peñalosa are getting ready.
Don Severino, get that stubborn beast out, out.

The food stalls and the tents,
Invite us to dance,
With hundreds of cups of punch
And girls who dance so well.
Here come the bosses,
Workers and laborers,
(showing off their fancy gear,
Handy cowhands who catch well.) repeat

(Throw me a steer by the half-moon,
Next to the flag, I’ll make the catch.) repeat
(and if the mare of fortune slips away,
Better that I catch her with the red one.) repeat
