[Chorus 1]
There goes Captain Beto through space
With his fiber spaceship made in Haedo
Last night he was a driver
Now he is lord of lords of the air
He's been fifteen years on his journey
His gear is as unstable as his fate
However, there's a strange ring
That drives away the dangers of the cosmos
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus 2]
There goes Captain Beto through space
The picture of Carlitos over command
And a pennant of River Plate
And the sad little stamp of a saint
[Verse 1]
Where is the place that everyone calls heaven?
If no one's coming over here
To drink some bitter mate like back in my old home
Why did I come here, if I can't handle loneliness?
I can't handle more loneliness
[Chorus 3]
His ring makes him immune to all dangers
But it doesn't protect him of all sadness
He's riding man's galaxy
There goes Captain Beto, the wanderer (ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
Where is the place where someone whistles tango?
Where are they, where are they?
The garbage trucks, my old lady and my coffee?
If this goes the way it goes, not a single shadow will remain
Not a single shadow will remain
[Chorus 4]
There goes Captain Beto through space
Watering the geraniums of his cabin
No compass or a radio
He'll never come back to Earth
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus 5]
They took so many years until they found him
Beto's ring had written a sign of his soul
