Every night when the moon is shining

Bright down in Rio De Janiero

Comes a gent with a mellow instrument

And a colorful sombrero,

Then he sings and the melody he brings

So tenderly played

Is called the Gaucho Serenade.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

Si, Senor he's a happy troubadour

On a patio you'll find him.

Si Senor, he will go from door to door

Leaving happiness behind him.

All the sweet Senoritas hurry out to join the parade

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

The Gaucho Serenade
