La Churrasca (Con el Cuarteto Lara Foster)

Pasé una noche enterita escribiendo una cartita
Para poderte, vidita, convencer

Frases bonitas que hablaban con ternura
De tu atrayente figura y tus encantos de mujer

Pero no pude terminar esta cartita
Para poderte, vidita, convencer

Tantas cosas en ella te decía
Que al final ni yo entendía y la tuve que romper

Churrasca
Mi churrasquita
Entendé esta palabrita que te dice
Tantas cosas y abrí tu corazón

Pasé la noche enterita consultando diccionarios
Libritos, epistolarios y formularios de amor

Pero en ninguno de esos libros con versitos
Encontré mi amor escrito con calor

No hubo un poeta que me diera un buen consejo
Por eso, derecho viejo, yo me haré entender mejor

Churrasca
Mi churrasquita
Entendé esta palabrita que te dice
Tantas cosas y abrí tu corazón

La Churrasca (With the Lara Foster Quartet)

I spent the whole night writing a letter
To, darling, convince you

Sweet sentences, which spoke to your tenderness
Your attractive figure and your womanly charms

But I couldn't finish the writing of this letter
To make you believe me, sweetheart

I said so much in it
That in the end, I didn’t even understand it, and I had to tear it up

Churrasca
My little Churrasca
Understand this little word that tells you
So many things, and open your heart

I spent the whole night looking up dictionaries
Little books, letter books, and forms of love

But in none of these books with their little verses
Could I find my love written with warmth

There was no poet who could give me good advice
So, old fashioned, I will let myself be understood

Churrasca
My little Churrasca
Understand this little word that tells you
So many things, and open your heart
