Mataco Diaz

They say that over in Campo Gallo Mataco Diaz will be foundDicen que allá en campo gallo el Mataco Diaz lo encontrará
He shines like the morning star, never getting tired of staying up lateEl hace como el lucero nunca se cansa de trasnochar
They say that over in Campo Gallo Mataco Diaz will be foundDicen que allá en campo gallo el Mataco Díaz lo encontrará
From party to party, he likes to go, his whereabouts are funDe fiesta en fiesta le gusta andar su paradero la diversión
Barefoot, he starts tapping his feet, dancing cheers up his heartDescalzo se pone a zapatear, bailando alegra su corazón

And if he doesn't run out of wine, he'll stay a little longerY si no le falta el vino se va a quedar otro rato más
If a woman tries to entangle him, he never says yes or noSi una mujer lo quiere enredar no dice nunca ni si, ni no
He's as distrustful as the Chajá to give away his heartEs desconfiado como el Chajá para entregarle su corazón
He lives in sorrow for the forgetfulness of a woman who enamored himVive por pena el olvido de una mujer que lo enamoró

As a wanderer, Mataco Diaz forgets to returnPor andariego se olvida el Mataco Díaz de regresar
And if he doesn't go back to his ranch, there's surely a party somewhereY si no vuelve a su rancho seguro hay farra en algún lugar
As a wanderer, Mataco Diaz forgets to returnPor andariego se olvida el Mataco Díaz de regresar
He won't wait to be invited, he won't miss any opportunityA que lo inviten no esperará, no va a perder nunca la ocasión

He disappears without warning and returns when the sun has risenDesaparece sin avisar y vuelve cuando ha salido el Sol
And from the side of the road, dawn will find himY desde lado el camino amanecido lo encontrará
For the carnival times, he has no direction, wandering aroundPara los tiempos del carnaval no tiene rumbo ni dirección calaveriando
They see him there, chopping away the sorrows of his heartLo ven por ahí hachando penas del corazón

They say that over in Campo Gallo, Mataco Diaz will be foundDicen que allá por campo gallo el Mataco Díaz lo encontrará
