Gaucho Power Lyrics in English El Cuarteto de Nos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gaucho Power by El Cuarteto de Nos from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
This gaucho doesn't bow
He marches with his head held high
And in any situation
He doesn't give up easily, no
In adversity he grows
And even though he's not one to brag
He knows that he carries courage on his shoulders
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus 1
And he hugs his freedom because he knew how to lose it
And the land he loves most is the land that saw him born
When it's his turn to suffer, his courage makes him grow
He spreads that power
Everybody knows, I have the Gaucho Power
With it I live and fight and I take it wherever I go
When there's no escape I use the Gaucho Power
Don't come too close, if I touch you, I'll give it to you
Verse 2
When he feels that there's disdain
In the gaze of some fool
He pays it no mind
Because he knows well who he is
Tradition lights the fire
And not the gray ash
And so his flame flickers through time
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus 2
He doesn't care to hide his roughness and his pride
When he kneels firm before the love of a woman
And if someone touches his honor, his claw speaks for him
He spreads that power
Everybody knows, I have the Gaucho Power
With it I live and fight and I take it wherever I go
When there's no escape I use the Gaucho Power
Don't come too close, if I touch you, I'll give it to you
Hey, hey, Gaucho Power!
Hey, hey, Gaucho Power!
And at night I'm guided by the Southern Cross
And at night I'm guided by the Southern Cross
I'm a bull in my rodeo and a big bull in someone else's arena
I'm a bull in my rodeo and a big bull in someone else's arena
It doesn't dazzle me, it doesn't dazzle me
The evil light doesn't dazzle me
He spreads that power, he spreads that power
Everybody knows, I have the Gaucho Power
With it I live and fight and I take it wherever I go
When there's no escape I use the Gaucho Power
Don't come too close, if I touch you I give it to you
Hey, hey, Gaucho Power!
Hey, hey, Gaucho Power!

SONG MEANING

Gaucho Power is a swagger-filled anthem that salutes the legendary South American cowboy, the gaucho, as a symbol of unbreakable spirit. Marching “con la frente en alto,” this hero never bows to hardship; instead, adversity only makes him grow taller. He is fiercely proud of his roots, guided by the Southern Cross at night, and fueled by traditions that ignite like fresh fire rather than smolder like old ash. His courage is so potent it can be “passed on by touch,” making the song feel like a rallying cry for anyone who needs a jolt of bravery.

Beneath the bravado, the lyrics remind us that true strength mixes toughness with tenderness: the gaucho kneels “ante el amor de una mujer,” guards his honor, and defends freedom because he once lost it. El Cuarteto de Nos turns this folklore figure into a modern superpower you can carry everywhere, telling listeners that when life corners you, tap into your own Gaucho Power and charge ahead.
