Neste compasso da gaita do Sapocay
Se bailava a noite inteira
Lá na costa do Uruguai
Luz de candieiro, no cheiro da poloneira
Irmanava castelhanos
e brasileiros da fronteira
Choram as prendas no compasso do bordão
E o guitarreiro canta a toda inspiração
E a cordeona num soluço vai flechando
Marca o compasso do costeiro da paixando
Neste compasso da gaita do Sapocay
Se arrastava no paragaitas
Lá na costa do Uruguai
China faceira de um jeito provocador
Vão sarandeando,
é um convite para o amor
Levanta poeira o sarandeiro da china
Recendendo à querozene,
o cheiro da brilhantina
Neste compasso da gaita do Sapocay
O Fandito se alegrava,
Lá na costa do Uruguai
Até a guarda costeira
se esqueceu do contrabando
E o Sapocay chegava a tocar, se babando
E a gaita velha, na baba do Sapocay
Chega a apodrecer o fole
neste faz que vai não vai
São duas pátrias festejando nesta dança
Repartindo a mesma herança,
comungando a mesma rima
Disse o Sidilho que o Uruguai beija os nubentes
Une o casal continente, pai Brasil, mãe Argentina
E disse o Cuenta, que o lendário rio Corrientes
Une o casal continente, pai Brasil, mãe Argentina
