Lyrics

Español

En el blando lecho que tiende el silencio, recuestan su grave cansancio las horas. Y duerme la noche mecida en el viento que pasa volcando su carga de aromas. A ratos, mezclado al rumor de la tropa que cruza añorando blanduras de sueño, la voz del camino se escucha muy honda latiendo en el grito que lanza el tropero. ¡Huija... oh... oh...! Chasquear de coscojos, sonar de cencerros, rumor de los cascos batiendo en el suelo, con sordo sonido que engulle el silencio. Paisaje de estrellas, olor de poleo, y allá donde corta la noche el sendero, las sombras confunden la pampa y el cielo. Cumpliendo el tropero su afán de horizonte se hamaca en el blando vaivén de la marcha. Y hundido en el manso sopor de la noche, sus ojos se duermen buscando distancia. Rompiendo el espeso algodón de las sombras va lerda la tropa turbando el sosiego. A ratos horada el silencio la honda canción del camino que lanza el tropero. ¡Huija... oh... oh...!

English · machine translation

On the soft bed that silence spreads, the hours lay their grave weariness. And the night sleeps, rocked by the wind that passes by, pouring its load of aromas. At times, mixed with the murmur of the troops that crosses longing for the softness of sleep, the voice of the road is heard very deep beating in the cry of the troopers. Huija... oh... oh... oh...! Cracking of hooves, ringing of cowbells, rumor of the hooves beating on the ground, with a dull sound that engulfs the silence. Landscape of stars, smell of pennyroyal, and there where the night cuts the path, the shadows confuse the pampa and the sky. Fulfilling the tropero's eagerness to reach the horizon he hammocks himself in the soft swaying of the march. And sunk in the gentle slumber of the night, his eyes fall asleep looking for distance. Breaking the thick cotton of the shadows the troop goes sluggishly disturbing the peace. At times the silence is pierced by the deep song of the road the deep song of the road that the troop throws. Witch... oh... oh... oh...!
