Ahakuetevo aescribita
Ahakuetévo ascrivíta
A la elegida estrella
A esa niña Graciela
Puerto Irala poty
Hi’ãnte ahecha jey
De aquí a unos tiempito
Taha’evarãpa delito
Ahẽtúne che pe yvoty
Soy un pájaro arribeño
Que así no más no se agarra
Aquí en Puerto Irala
Ajúta che pepopê
Oiméta ramo jepe
Iporãvéva ajuhúta
Che Graciélante ahayhúta
Ndaikuaaséi mba’eve
Una amable serenata
Te sorprenderá soñando
Algún bohemio cantando
Epayne re recivi
Ha upévo ke epensami
En este verso lejana
Mombyryma oî la ijara, nde py'apype eremi
Adiós, ya llega mi hora
Aguahênte poikuaamívo
No soy ningún atrevido
Amomorãnte chupe
Alguna vez tavolve
Penefamiliarõnkuáicha
A esa niña mimada
Ko ahayhumínte chave
I Wrote You a Letter
I wrote you a letter
To the chosen star
To that girl Graciela
In Puerto Irala's light
I’ll see you again
In a little while
What could be the crime?
I’ll bring you a flower
I’m a free-spirited bird
That doesn’t just settle down
Here in Puerto Irala
I’ll make my way to you
Even if it’s just a moment
I’ll find the prettiest one
I love you, Graciela
I don’t know anything else
A sweet serenade
Will surprise you while dreaming
Some bohemian singing
You’ll receive it with joy
And then think of me
In this distant verse
Far away, you’ll feel it in your heart
Goodbye, my time has come
I’ll wait until I can see you
I’m not being bold
I just love her so much
Maybe one day we’ll meet again
Like a family reunion
To that spoiled girl
I love her so deeply.
