Gaucho Doble Chapa

I'm a border dweller from the coast of Uruguay
And it's a family legacy, this bagpiper trade
I was born in a breath, it doesn't matter from which side
The customs of the countryman are always my commandment

I enjoy a fight, card games, dice, and races
When I hear a vanera, I head to the fandango
I carry the marks since young, rebellious
From Caçapava to Orgoroso, I gathered my crew

I'm a double plate, half bull half rooster
Born right on horseback, between Santana and Rivera
Voice and flag, of the two sister nations
Rough and true soul of the frontier cowboy

I play the accordion, I deal with horses and guitar
I never miss the party of Chamamé and milonga
Rider and farmhand, they say I'm reliable
With a brave heart, a countryman by calling

Coffee is for the crazy, I drink mate and roll tobacco
Beret, hat, poncho, spurs, handkerchief, and knife
I walk the path, dodging the tangle
With my countryside people, I defend the tradition

I'm a double plate, half bull half rooster
Born right on horseback, between Santana and Rivera
Voice and flag, of the two sister nations
Rough and true soul of the frontier cowboy
