Aquí Me Pongo a Cantar
Aquí me pongo a cantar
Al compás de la vigüela
Que el hombre que lo desvela
Una pena extraordinaria
Como el ave solitaria
Con el cantar se consuela
Y atiendan la relación
Que hace un gaucho perseguido
Que padre y marido ha sido
Y lo tienen por bandido
Yo he conocido esta tierra
En que el paisano vivía
Y su ranchito tenía
Y sus hijos y mujer
Era una delicia el ver
Cómo pasaba sus días
Venía la carne con cuero
La sabrosa carbonada
Mazamorra bien pisada
Los pasteles y el güen vino
Pero ha querido el destino
Que todo eso acabara
Here I Start to Sing
Here I start to sing
To the strum of the guitar
For the man who can't sleep
Carries an extraordinary pain
Like a lonely bird
He finds comfort in his song
And pay attention to the tale
Of a gaucho on the run
Who’s been a father and a husband
But they call him a criminal
I've known this land
Where the local lived
And had his little house
With his kids and his wife
It was a joy to see
How he spent his days
The meat came with the skin
The tasty stew was served
Thick corn pudding was made
The pastries and the good wine
But fate has decided
That all of that should end.
