(Aye aye aye-aye-aye, aye)

My heart is in Rosa Rio

Under the Argentine skies

There with a beautiful lady

With her dark and sparkling eyes

My heart is in Rosa Rio

Your sentimentae aye-aye

There with a beautiful lady

That I'll love the day that I die

Aye aye aye-aye-aye, aye



Her parents were rich Estenaciaros

And I was just one of the hands

Who hearded their ten thousand cattle

On their ten thousand acres of land

But I was a very poor cowboy

And we lived in worlds far apart

So how could I tell her I loved her

Or speak of the love in my heart



The lady I loved never loved me

The lady I loved never knew

The day that she married another

A poor cowboy's heart broke in two

And I know that she'll never miss me

Or notice that I'm even gone

The cowboy who saddled her pony

Now rides through the dark night alone



My heart is in Rosa Rio

Under the Argentine skies

There with a beautiful lady

With her dark and sparkling eyes

My heart is in Rosa Rio

Your sentimentae aye-aye

There with a beautiful lady

That I'll love the day that I die

Aye aye aye-aye-aye, aye
