Lyrics and translation Leon Gieco - Cachito campeón de Corrientes

Cachito campeón de Corrientes

Desde Corrientes a Buenos Aires un señor lo vino a buscar
Cuando estacionó su auto vino el barrio a saludar
Chau Cachito chau vas a ser el campeón
Desde aquí te alentaremos por la televisión oyoyo oyoyo oyoyo
.
En la noche del debut Corrientes estaba prendido
Y un solo grito se oyó cuando el correntino entró
Vamos Cachito vamos debes ser el campeón
Desde aquí te alentaremos por la televisión.
.
El correntino saltarín mostraba su inocencia
Y entre las cuerdas se vió sangrar sus redondas cejas
Que pensará mi madre ay, ay si que pensará
Que pensará mi barrio ay, ay si que pensará
.
Que me estará pasando que no lo puedo parar
Este me está matando de verdad
Como estará mi madre ay, ay si como estará
Como estará mi pueblo ay, ay si como estará.
.
Llora Corrientes llora la derrota de su campeón
El jueves llega Cachito en el micro de las dos
Y ese señor del auto no aparece por Corrientes
Porque dice que es suficiente el dinero que ganó.

Cachito the Champion of Corrientes

From Corrientes to Buenos Aires, a gentleman came to seek him
When he parked his car, the neighborhood came to greet him
Goodbye, Cachito, goodbye, you're going to be the champion
From here we will cheer you on by television, oyoyo, oyoyo, oyoyo, oyoyo
.
On the night of his debut, Corrientes was lit up
And a single cry was heard when the Correntino entered
Come on, Cachito, come on, you must be the champion
From here we will cheer you on by television.
.
The Correntino, jumping around, showed his innocence
And in the ring, his round eyebrows were seen bleeding
What will my mother think, oh dear, oh dear, what will she think
What will my neighborhood think, oh dear, oh dear, what will they think
.
What is happening to me that I can't stop him
This guy is really killing me
How my mother must be, oh dear, oh dear, how she must be
How my town must be, oh dear, oh dear, how it must be.
.
Weep, Corrientes, weep for the defeat of your champion
On Thursday, Cachito arrives on the two o'clock bus
And that gentleman in the car doesn't appear in Corrientes
Because he says the money he earned is enough.
