Adiós Nonino
Desde una estrella al titilar
Me hará señales de acudir
Por una luz de eternidad
Cuando me llame, voy a ir
A preguntarle, por ese niño
Que con su muerte, lo perdiste
Que con Nonino se me fue
Cuando me diga, ven aquí
Renaceré, porque
Soy! La raíz, del país
Que amasó con su arcilla
Soy! Sangre y piel, del tano aquel
Que me dio su semilla
Adiós Nonino que largo sin vos
Será el camino
Dolor, tristeza, la mesa y el pan!
Y mi adiós ay! Mi adiós
A tu amor, tu tabaco, tu vino
Quién? Sin piedad, me robó la mitad
Al llevarte Nonino
Tal vez un día, yo también mirando atrás
Como vos, diga adiós no va más!
Y hoy mi viejo Nonino es una planta
Es la luz, es el viento y es el río
Este torrente mío lo suplanta
Prolongando en mi ser, su desafío
Me sucedo en su sangre, lo adivino
Y presiento en mi voz, su propio eco
Esta voz que una vez, me sonó a hueco
Cuando le dije adiós adiós Nonino
Soy! La raíz, del país
Que amasó con su arcilla
Soy! Sangre y piel
Del tano aquel
Que me dio su semilla
Adiós Nonino dejaste tu Sol
En mi destino
Tu ardor sin miedo, tu credo de amor
Y ese afán ay! Tu afán
Por sembrar de esperanza el camino
Soy tu panal y esta gota de sal
Que hoy te llora Nonino
Tal vez el día que se corte mi piolín
Te veré y sabré que no hay fin
Goodbye Nonino
From a star as it twinkles
It'll signal me to come
For a light of eternity
When it calls me, I'll go
To ask about that boy
Who with his death, you lost
That with Nonino went away
When it tells me, come here
I'll be reborn, because
I am! The root, of the land
That was shaped with its clay
I am! Blood and skin, of that guy
Who gave me his seed
Goodbye Nonino, how long without you
Will the road be
Pain, sadness, the table and the bread!
And my goodbye, oh! My goodbye
To your love, your tobacco, your wine
Who? Without mercy, stole half of me
When they took you Nonino
Maybe one day, I too looking back
Like you, will say goodbye no more!
And today my old Nonino is a plant
It's the light, it's the wind and it's the river
This torrent of mine replaces
Prolonging in my being, his challenge
I succeed him in his blood, I sense it
And I feel in my voice, his own echo
This voice that once, sounded hollow to me
When I said goodbye goodbye Nonino
I am! The root, of the land
That was shaped with its clay
I am! Blood and skin
Of that guy
Who gave me his seed
Goodbye Nonino, you left your Sun
In my destiny
Your fiery passion, your creed of love
And that zeal, oh! Your zeal
To sow hope along the way
I am your hive and this drop of salt
That today cries for you Nonino
Maybe the day my string is cut
I'll see you and know there's no end
