My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentina skies
There with a beautiful lady
With her dark and sparkling eyes
My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die
Aye, aye, aye, aye
Her parents were rich Estenaciaros
And I was just the one of the hands
Who herded their ten thousand cattle
On their ten thousand acres of land
But I was a very poor cowboy
And we lived in worlds far apart
So how could I tell her I loved her
Or speak of the love in my heart
The lady I loved never loved me
The lady I loved never knew
The day that she married another
A poor cowboy's heart broke in two
And I know that she'll never miss me
Or notice that I'm even gone
Cowboy who saddled her pony
Now rides through the dark night alone
My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentina skies
There with a beautiful lady
With her dark and sparkling eyes
My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die
Aye, aye, aye, aye
