Calle Angosta

Narrow Street

Calle Angosta

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

You're the humblest streetSos la calle más humilde
In my hometown, MercedinaDe mi tierra mercedina
It starts at the poplarsEn los álamos comienza
And ends at the millY en el molino termina

Narrow street, narrow street, oh how many times I've been robbed!Calle angosta, calle angosta, ¡si me habrán ladrao los chocos!
It was a tune and it was two peaks highUn tuntún era y estaba a dos picos la tonada
Narrow street, narrow street, the one with a single pathCalle angosta, calle angosta la de una vereda sola

Traditional little shops: Don Manuel and Los MirandaTradicionales boliches: Don Manuel y Los Miranda
Across the tracks, there's Don Calixto, not much to see!Frente, cruzando las vías, ¡Don Calixto, casi nada!

Singers from back thenCantores de aquel entonces
Would gather in a circleAhí en rueda se juntaban
And in tribute to the localsY en homenaje de criollos
They always sang our songsSiempre lo nuestro cantaban

Narrow street, narrow streetCalle angosta, calle angosta
Oh how many times I've been robbed!¡Si me habrán ladrao los chocos!
It was a tune and it was two peaks highUn tuntún era y estaba a dos picos la tonada
Narrow street, narrow street, the one with a single pathCalle angosta, calle angosta la de una vereda sola
