Lyrics

Español

Luciendo su color de esperanza viste el campo su plumaje y el viento hace vibrar sus cordajes en los pastos y en la flor. Yo tengo mi ranchito en la loma donde cantan los zorzales... Margaritas y rosales han brotado para ti, porque un día será ese nido gaucho de los dos. Florecerán mis ilusiones y se unirán los corazones. Dime que sí, que la noche pampera abrirá y su rayo de luna pondrá luz de amor en tus ojos. No digas no, que el dolor secará mi rosal y en la cruz de mi rancho el zorzal morirá por tu amor. Mañana, cuando el sol se ilumine, entre gotas de rocío el llanto de este cariño mío sobre el trébol pisarás. Recuerda que por ti lo he vertido y si sientes mi tormento, golondrina, cara al viento, tus dos alas abrirás... Y de un solo vuelo mis tristezas matarás.

English · machine translation

Wearing its color of hope dresses the field its plumage and the wind makes its strings vibrate in the pastures and in the flower. I have my little ranch on the hill where the thrushes the thrushes sing... Daisies and roses have sprouted for you, because one day it will be that gaucho's nest of the two of us. My illusions will bloom and our hearts will be united. Tell me yes, that the pampa night will open and its moonbeam will put love light in your eyes. Don't say no, that pain will dry my rose bush and on the cross of my ranch the thrush will die for your love. Tomorrow, when the sun lights up between drops of dew the cry of this love of mine on the clover you will tread. Remember that for you I have poured it and if you feel my torment, swallow, face the wind, your two wings you will open... And with a single flight my sadness you will kill.
