Skirting the Gualeyán
as soon as it was the prayer time
sitting astride the horse Juan went by
Entrerriano and good singer.
He was a local creole,
a trustworthy peasant,
good friend and attentive
and spirited with his accordion.
Juan, Juan, Juan
from the coast of Gualeyán,
entreriano and good singer
and spirited with his accordion.
Juan, Juan, Juan
from the coast of Gualeyán,
Entrerriano and good singer
and spirited with his accordion.
Juan is always remembered
his piebald prance,
his joy and his singing
tangled on his accordion.
Along the coast of Gualeyán
there is left the fame of the singer
that with his accordion
cast a spell over the local girls.
He was a local creole,
a trustworthy peasant,
good friend and attentive
and spirited with his accordion.
He was a local creole,

Hope you like my translation, it goes with all my heart.
