Thread Name: Songs mentioning Argentina
Subject: RE: Songs mentioning Argentina
When I was 14, I swam at a pool that played a song on the PA. It sounded like a pop song, but it also seems traditional. It is so catchy that it's stayed with me for 50 years, so I recommend it. Maybe you can find the tune on the Net somewhere. The 'doo was doo' represents an instrument part.

Where the deep (doo wah doo)
blue pearly waters (doo wah doo)
wash upon white silver sands,
there on the brink of love I kissed her
(doo wah doo)
and obeyed our hearts' commands.

See the sunset in the evening,
see the moon yellow and pale.
See the gauchos ride their pintos
far across the pampas trail.

Repeat first verse, above.

I hope you have a great trip.
