Downunder

*** Ay si sí

Ay, si, si, yo no soy de por aquí,
ay, si, si, yo vengo del Casanare.
Ay, si, si, como la palma de coco
como la palma de coco
como la palma' e cumare.

Ay, si, si, esta noche canto aquí,
ay, si, si, mañana' onde cantare.
Ay, si, si, en las sabanas de Arauca,
en las sabanas de Arauca
o en el pueblo de Orocue.

Ay, si, si, el orgullo del llanero,
ay, si, si, yo se lo voy a contar,
ay, si, si, buen caballo y buena silla,
buen caballo y buena silla
buena soga pa' enlazar.

Ay, si, si, lucero de la mañana,
ay, si, si, préstame tu claridad,
ay, si, si, para seguirle los pasos
para seguirle los pasos
a mi amada, que se va.

Ay, si, si, a las tres de la mañana,
ay, si, si, a todos les madrugue.
Ay, si, si, tenia yo que regresarme,
tenia yo que regresarme
y en mi caballo monte.

***Down Under

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
