Oh... how cool is the party

The charra1party, party of the sun

Where the brave charros

Bring the evocation with their songs

The... jaripeo and its celebration

That smells of furrow and tradition

Imitation of the most admired

Task2of my nation

Beautiful is the jaripeo

And so much its animation

I want to ride a bull

So my love can look at me

Upa y upa iu

I want to ride a bull

So that my love looks at me

~ ~ ~

The jaripeo has started

people applaud with emotion

And a... bull comes rodado3

pulled by the tail4very well by Don Nabor

They've put the breastplate on a bull

so Don Felimón rides it

And while the ropers

florean5the rope with great skill

Beautiful is the jaripeo

And so much its animation

I want to ride a bull

So my love can look at me

Upa y upa iu

I want to ride a bull

So that my love looks at me

~ ~ ~

Oh... how cool is the party

The charra party, party of the sun

Where the brave charros

Bring the evocation with their songs

The... jaripeo and its celebration

That smells of furrow and tradition

Imitation of the most admired

Task of my nation

Beautiful is the jaripeo

And so much its animation

I want to ride a bull

So my love can look at me

Upa y upa iu

I want to ride a bull

So that my love looks at me
