Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Era rubia y sus ojos celestes reflejaban la gloria del día y cantaba como una calandria la pulpera de Santa Lucía. Era flor de la vieja parroquia. ¿Quién fue el gaucho que no la quería? Los soldados de cuatro cuarteles suspiraban en la pulpería. Le cantó el con un dulce gemir de vihuelas en la reja que olía a jazmines, en el patio que olía a diamelas. 'Con el alma te quiero, pulpera, y algún día tendrás que ser mía, mientras llenan las noches del barrio las guitarras de Santa Lucía'. La llevó un de Lavalle cuando el año cuarenta moría; ya no alumbran sus ojos celestes la parroquia de Santa Lucía. No volvieron los trompas de Rosas a cantarle vidalas y cielos. En la reja de la pulpería los jazmines lloraban de celos. Y volvió el a cantar en el patio vacío la doliente y postrer serenata que llevábase el viento del río: ¿Dónde estás con tus ojos celestes, oh pulpera que no fuiste mía?' ¡Cómo lloran por ti las guitarras, las guitarras de Santa Lucía!

She was blonde and her light blue eyes reflected the glory of the day and she sang like a lark the pulpera of Santa Lucia. She was a flower of the old parish. Who was the gaucho who did not love her? The soldiers of four barracks sighed in the pulperia. The payador mazorquero sang to her with a sweet moaning of vihuelas in the grille that smelled of jasmine, in the courtyard that smelled of diamonds. 'With my soul I love you, pulpera, and someday you'll have to be mine, while the nights of the neighborhood are filled the guitars of Santa Lucia'. She was taken by a payador from Lavalle when the year forty was dying; her light blue eyes no longer illuminate the parish of Santa Lucía. The horns of Rosas did not return to sing vidalas and skies to him. In the grille of the pulpería the jasmines wept with jealousy. And the payador mazorquero returned to sing in the empty courtyard the mournful and final serenade carried by the wind from the river: Where are you with your light blue eyes, O pulpera that was not mine? How the guitars cry for you! the guitars of Santa Lucia!
