ARRIERO
(Canción)
No tenís rancho en las pampas. ..,
no tenís quincha en los cerros. ..,
siempre en la güellas acampas,
sólo te siguen tus perros...
Todo tu hogar, un fogón,,
que armás al parar rodeo. ..
y siempre tras del arreo
vas silbando una canción.
Arriero que vas tropiando,
al cencerro del dolor. ..
Arriero que vas cantando. ..,
cantando penas de amor.. .
Silbando tu afán legüero,
cantando tu triste suerte. ..,
nunca sabrás, pobre arriero,
que orillando el ventisquero,
vos vas derecho a la muerte! ...
Arrierito ...arrierito vagabundo ...
En todos lauh, forastero. ..
sin saber ande anidar :. .
Cuando una cruz en el cerro,
diga que ya sos finau ...,
serás llorau por tu perro. ..,
más no por hembra llorau! ...
MULETEER
(Song)
You don't have a ranch in the plains
You don't have a hut in the hills
You always camp in the tracks
Only your dogs follow you
Your whole home, a campfire
That you set up when rounding up cattle
And always after the herding
You go whistling a song
Muleteer, as you trudge
To the bell of pain
Muleteer, as you sing
Singing sorrows of love
Whistling your tireless effort
Singing your sad fate
You will never know, poor muleteer
That skirting the snowdrift
You are heading straight to death
Little muleteer, wandering muleteer
In all places, a stranger
Without knowing where to settle
When a cross on the hill
Says that you are already gone
You will be mourned by your dog
But not mourned by a woman
