Galopera

In a neighborhood of Asunción people come, people go
The drum is already calling, the gallop is about to begin
February 3rd has arrived, the patron Saint Blas
The 'Trinidad Band' livens up the show

Under the leafy canopy, the circle is already formed
And the 'galoperas' come out to dance the 'galopa'
Wearing the 'kîguá' you will see, with three earrings
Seven-branched rings and a coral rosary

Galopera... Dance your bewitching dance
Galopera... Move your bare feet
Swaying your waist with your promise of love

The dark-skinned galopera of the indigenous lineage
Wears two flowery braids and dresses in 'tîpoy yeguá'
On her proud head she carries a native jug
Water for the pilgrim, the beautiful 'mitacuñá'

Galopera... Continue your bewitching dance
Galopera... I am your ardent dreamer
Give me a little fresh water from your jug of love
Give me a little fresh water from your jug of love
