Calle Angosta

Narrow Street

Calle Angosta

Narrow street; narrow streetCalle angosta; calle angosta
The one with a single sidewalkLa de una vereda sola
I sing to you because you will alwaysYo te canto porque siempre
Be in my memoryEstarás en mi memoria

You are the humblest streetSos la calle más humilde
Of my Mercedina landDe mi tierra mercedina
You start in the poplarsEn los álamos comienzas
And end at the millY en el molino terminas

Narrow street; narrow streetCalle angosta; calle angosta
How many times the kids must have barked at you!¡Si te habrán ladrao los chocos!
A knock-knock, who's there? The tune was alreadyUn tun-tun ¿quién es? Ya estaba
In two peaksA dos picos la tonada
Narrow street; narrow streetCalle angosta; calle angosta
The one with a single sidewalkLa de una vereda sola

Traditional barsTradicionales boliches
Don Manuel and the MirandasDon manuel y los miranda
Across, crossing the tracksFrente cruzando las vías
Don Calixto almost nothingDon calixto casi nada

Singers from back thenCantores de aquel entonces
Song and circle would come togetherCanto y rueda se juntaban
And in homage to the localsY en homenaje de criollos
They always sang our ownSiempre lo nuestro cantaban

Narrow street; narrow streetCalle angosta; calle angosta
How many times the kids must have barked at you!¡Si te habrán ladrao los chocos!
A knock-knock, who's there? The tune was alreadyUn tun-tun ¿quién es? Ya estaba
In two peaksA dos picos la tonada
Narrow street; narrow streetCalle angosta; calle angosta
The one with a single sidewalkLa de una vereda sola
