Every night when the moon is shining bright
Down in Rio Janeiro
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

Si senor, he's a happy troubador,
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
And hear the Gaucho Serenade
The Gaucho Serenade...
