Assim No Más

Just Like That

Assim No Más

For knowing the struggle that life has given mePor conhecer a lida que a vida me deu
My galloping as a young man, skirmish of painMeu galopar de moço, escaramuça de dor
When I see you coming, my fruit of the forestQuando te vejo vindo, meu fruto da mata
Dragging your alpargatas, lacking love!Arrastando alpargatas carente de amor!

It seems that the silence of the nightly roundsParece que o silêncio das rondas noturnas
Gathers the spirited colt of imaginationAmunta o potro arisco da imaginação
When I wait for you early, my isolated pathQuando te espero cedo meu rumo isolado
Washing away the bitterness despite the illusion!Lavando o amargo apesar da ilusão!

I spurred on reminiscences with heavy stirrupsEsporeei reminiscências com pesadas nazarenas
Hoping that longing would tameNa esperança que a saudade amansasse as
My sorrows!Minhas penas!

Sooner or later, taming the wild horsesMais dia, menos dia, domando pelegos
I will settle in the peace that waiting has given meVou arranchar sossegos que a espera me deu
Drowning sorrows in the waters of the streamEmbriagando mágoas nas águas da sanga
Where I kneaded my dreams in your land!Onde sovei "às pampa" meus sonhos nos teus!

In the restless afternoons of exchanged yearningsNas ressolonas tardes de anseios trocados
Plowing the promised land among the stubbleA terra prometida arando restevas
Saving for the week the honey of the lizardGuardando pra semana o mel da lichiguana
And the Castilian morning that I dismounted from the stars!E a manha castelhana que apeei das estrelas!

Just like that, I lose myself illuminated by closenessAssim no más me perco alumbrado de achego
Amidst the circumstances of the same fieldsEm meio às circunstâncias dos mesmos juncais
That welcomed you pure, my remaining MoonQue te acolheram pura meu resto de Lua
My Charrua sunset wrapped in peace!Meu poente charrua emponchado de paz!
