Romance de Lua e Estrada

Romance of Moon and Road

Through the pachola I spied the shadow
When I arrived well mounted
On a colored horse
The best horse of the herd
The moon like a wheel
Lit up over the window
Of a ranch garden for her
My flower of macanilha

In a goodnight shout
Give me permission, boss
I want to tie up my horse
And dance the chamarrita
Lovely girl
Who stole my heart

In the eyes of the same moon, holy Sunday of May
A dun colt galloped in the trail of a firefly
And the moon felt jealous, for I stopped looking at her
When I saw in front of the window, your body in flower and perfume
Since then, the moon follows me with the look of an ancient mother
Knows all the songs
I whistle on the road
Straight to the beloved ranch
Where I spread the horse
And give water to the heart
In the mouth of dawn

Since then, the moon follows me
With the look of an ancient mother
Knows all the songs
I whistle on the road
Straight to the beloved ranch
Where I spread the horse
And give water to the heart
In the mouth of dawn

Back on the saddle
Serene in my hat
Above a sky poncho
Immense soul of minuano
I release some verses for Aureliano
In the style of Noel
