"Mi Chacra"

Besides answering the boys' questions about Argentina, Oldpa also taught them a popular Argentinian folk song called "Mi Charcra" ("My Farm"). He happily shared the lyrics to the song as well as the translation:

"Mi Charcra"

Vengan a ver mi chacra que es hermosa.
Vengan a ver mi chacra que es hermosa.

El pollito hace asi: Pio! Pio!
El pollito hace asi: Pio! Pio!

O vas camarade, vas camarade, vas, o vas, o vas.
O vas camarade, vas camarade, vas, o vas, o vas.
