Corrido de Las Pampas
Viento Norteño
Corrido of the Pampas
Gentlemen, I'm going to sing you a corrido that I know about the pampas
The grove and San José
The pampas look cheerful in the mornings of April
But they are even happier if Villarey is around
Telling the soldiers to go out and work
Telling the cowboys to go to the corral
Aguirre, you head to Florida without delay
And tell Don Pedro that I need a trip of sotol
Send a command, send the biggest one
Bring a trip of sotol and a trip of mascarrote
Command number three, head to San Miguel
Tell José Sánchez that I'm expecting my colonel today
I entrust him with the calves, the registered heifers
Release the fillies we have tied up
The drought has hit us and I don't know what to do
I send a telegram to my colonel
Villarey, you know it, Villarey, I know it
You fix those ranches: The grove and San José
The pampas look cheerful in the mornings of April
But they are even happier if Villarey is around
Fighting with work, fighting with destiny
Boys, let's work, we're on the road
