ARRIERO

(Song)(Canción)

You don't have a ranch in the plainsNo tenís rancho en las pampas. ..,
You don't have a hut in the hillsno tenís quincha en los cerros. ..,
You always camp in the trackssiempre en la güellas acampas,
Only your dogs follow yousólo te siguen tus perros...

Your whole home, a campfireTodo tu hogar, un fogón,,
That you set up when rounding up cattleque armás al parar rodeo. ..
And always after the herdingy siempre tras del arreo
You go whistling a songvas silbando una canción.

Muleteer, as you trudgeArriero que vas tropiando,
To the bell of painal cencerro del dolor. ..
Muleteer, as you singArriero que vas cantando. ..,
Singing sorrows of lovecantando penas de amor.. .

Whistling your tireless effortSilbando tu afán legüero,
Singing your sad fatecantando tu triste suerte. ..,
You will never know, poor muleteernunca sabrás, pobre arriero,
That skirting the snowdriftque orillando el ventisquero,
You are heading straight to deathvos vas derecho a la muerte! ...

Little muleteer, wandering muleteerArrierito ...arrierito vagabundo ...
In all places, a strangerEn todos lauh, forastero. ..
Without knowing where to settlesin saber ande anidar :. .

When a cross on the hillCuando una cruz en el cerro,
Says that you are already gonediga que ya sos finau ...,
You will be mourned by your dogserás llorau por tu perro. ..,
But not mourned by a womanmás no por hembra llorau! ...
