Ponchito Lyrics Translation in English

Ó, meu sol de madrugada

Oh, my morning sun

Quando rastreando o orvalho

Saia contigo, boleado no más

I would go out with you, wrapped up just right

E, bem gaucho, repontava a cavalhada

And, true gaucho, I would join the cavalry

Saia contigo, boleado no más

Contigo, nunca melei

With you, I never got muddy

Lechiguana campo afora

Nem nunca mordi de espora

Nor have I ever bitten with spurs

Tua franjita gaúcha

Your gaucha fringe

E em tropa larga

And in a large herd

Cue pucha! Numa tormenta aragana

Cue pucha! In an aragana storm

Entre tua lã e a badana

Between your wool and the leather

Meu rancho de alma charrua

E em tropa larga

E quando o sol esquentava

And when the sun warmed up

Nas manhãs de algum outono

Voava tropa em porteira

A herd would fly through the gate

Te abanando qual um mango

Fanning you like a mango
