This is the debut of my first song written in Guarani (with a little spanish). It was played at Peace Corps fundraiser in Asuncion. (unfortunately the video starts a little bit into the song)
The lyrics...roughly translated:
How´d you wake up?...woke up great because I got to sleep in late
Later on I´ll be workin on the farm
Drinking terere with my crew, and chattin it up
Chorus;
This is what life is like
Terere, in the shade, speaking guarani
I´m living care free/chilled out
Yo what up, how is going? Fantastic
Because I´m about to eat a kick ass bbq with my family
Later we´ll head to the soccer game, drink some beer and eat Chipa (a paraguayan bread)
Right on brother!
Chorus
I´m waiting for a girl to come through my window (a paraguayan joke)
¨Come over here for a minute¨ some good luck (The ¨come here...¨ also being a popular saying)
Unbearable is the heat here
Later on well hit the party and get sloppy drunk, Dance with beautiful women
Yeah, I´m happy in Paraguay
Chorus
