La Desvelada

The Sleepless Night

La Desvelada

Gaucho vidalita, vidalitay,Vidalita gaucha, vidalitay,
sing me some verses;cántame unos versos;
maybe you can, vidalitay,vos tal vez consigas, vidalitay,
make me sleepy.que me venga sueño.
Oriental vidalita, little branch of cedron,Vidalita oriental, gajito de cedrón,
the evening star has risen.ya ha salido el lucero.

Humble vidalita, vidalitay,Vidalita humilde, vidalitay,
like my saddle blankets,como mis pelegos
don't stay in the cold, vidalitay,no te estés al frío, vidalitay,
come closer to the fire.arrimate al fuego.

Wild vidalita, vidalitay,Vidalita arisca, vidalitay,
living in the hills,que vivís a monte
why is there so much countryside,por qué hay tanto campo,
vidalitay, so many poor people.vidalitay, tanta gente pobre.
Oriental vidalita, you're lovely to sing,Vidalita oriental, sos linda de cantar,
but that's how I stay awake.pero así me desvelo.
