With Game of Thrones coming to an end this year, as a society, we haven’t been able to stop guessing who will come out on top or survive. If you’re like me, you head to Twitter after every show and find that your timeline is filled with GOT-related content every Sunday night. And while there’s a lot of entertaining stuff out there, probably nothing will bring you as much joy as the vallenato version of the Game of Thrones theme song currently making the rounds.

The video, which features three men, is credited to Jaime José Mesa, who runs a YouTube page where he shares himself playing the accordion. Vallenato, which comes from Colombia’s Caribbean coast, is a mix of genres and musical styles and features caja, the accordion, guacharaca, and more.

Listen to the trio’s version below and then hit play again, because you know you’ll want to.
