Where will you go, milonga

Adonde te iras milonga

Where will you go, milongaAdonde te iras milonga
when the shearing is overcuando se acabe la esquila
a little to the north maybeun poco al norte talvez
when it's threshing timecuando sea tiempo trilla
looking for someone to shell youbuscando que te conchaben
singer of the seedscantora de las semillas
or you stay in the fieldso te quedes en las chacras
with the guitars, the peon, the swallowcon las guitarras peón golondrina.

Maybe with a roundupPuede que con un arreo
you'll leave with the whistlete vayas con el silbido
of those who sleep in the countrysidede los que duermen a campo
where there was never a roaddónde nunca hubo camino
maybe when you open your eyespuede que al abrir los ojos
they'll fill with infinityse te llenen de infinito
and it'll be the song of dawny sea canto de aurora
early bird without a nestmadrugadora ave sin nido.

You'll be aloneQue sola te quedarás
after the appointed timedespués de la señalada
when the fire goes outcuando se apague el fogón
and the voice of the guitarsy la voz de las guitarras
you'll have to know whotendrás que saber quien es
is the one who sings to you with pleasureel que con gusto te canta
so you don't go cryingpara que no andes llorando
far from the homeland, girl of the pampaslejos del pago guacha de pampa.

Where will you go, milongaAdonde te iras milonga
following the trail of destinytras el rastro del destino
don't leave me without the songno me dejes sin el canto
alone with the forgottensolito con los olvidos
don't abandon me, friendno me abandones amiga
stay, I ask youquedaté yo te lo pido
because I must know how to love youporque he de saber quererte
I want to have you here with mequiero tenerte aquí conmigo.

Where will you go, milongaAdonde te iras milonga
when the forgetfulness arrives.cuando lleguen los olvidos.
