Canto Alegretense
Os Fagundes
Alegretense Song
Don't ask me where Alegrete is
Follow the direction of your own heart
You will cross paths with a rider on the road
And you will hear the sound of accordion and guitar
For those arriving from Rosario at the end of the afternoon
Or those coming from Uruguaiana in the morning
The sun is like a burning ember
Immersed in the Ibirapuitã River
Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian song
From this land that I have loved since I was a boy
Prickly pear flower, wild honey camoatim
Dark stone from the Inhanduy hills
Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian song
From this land that I have loved since I was a boy
Prickly pear flower, wild honey camoatim
Dark stone from the Inhanduy hills
And in the final hour that I deserve
To see the Alegrete sun set
Like the colts, I will turn my head
Towards the homeland at the moment of death
And in my eyes, I will carry the enchantment
Of this land that I loved with devotion
Every verse I compose is a payment
Of a debt of love and gratitude
Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian song
From this land that I have loved since I was a boy
Prickly pear flower, wild honey camoatim
Dark stone from the Inhanduy hills
Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian song
From this land that I have loved since I was a boy
Prickly pear flower, wild honey camoatim
Dark stone from the Inhanduy hills
Listen to the gaucho and Brazilian song
From this land that I have loved since I was a boy
Prickly pear flower, wild honey camoatim
Dark stone from the Inhanduy hills
