Indian girl, your shoulder-length hair
As dark as a moonless night
Your rose-like lips smiling at me
The sweet affection in your eyes.
Dusky Indian girl, I want to kiss you
Indian Tupi* girl
With the fragrance of a flower
Come, I want to give you
All my love.
When I have to travel far away
And the time comes to say farewell
Stay in my arms just a moment more
And let us kiss.
Indian girl, I’ll miss the happiness you gave me
Indian girl, a picture of you
Will always be with me
In my heart, a flower of my dear Paraguay.
