Every night when the moon is shining
Bright down in Rio De Janiero
Comes a gent with a mellow instrument
And a colorful sombrero
Then he sings and the melody he brings 
So tenderly played 
Is called the Gaucho Serenade

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la 

Si, Senor he's a happy troubadour 
On a patio you'll find him
Si Senor, he will go from door to door
Leaving happiness behind him
All the sweet Senoritas 
Hurry out to join the parade

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la 

The Gaucho Serenade
