Every night when the moon is shining   Bright down in Rio De 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      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
