Luna Tucumana

Tucuman Moon

Luna Tucumana

I don't sing to the moonYo no le canto a la luna
Because it shines and nothing morePorque alumbra y nada mas
I sing because she knowsE canto porque ella sabe
About my long journeyDe mi largo caminar

Oh Tucuman moonAy lunita tucumana
Little drum of CalchaquiTamborcito calchaqui
Companion of the gauchosCompañera de los gauchos
On the paths of TafiEn las sendas del tafi

Lost in the thicketsPerdido en las cerrazones
Who knows, my dear, where I'll beQuien sabe viditay, por donde andare
But when the moon rises, I'll sing, I'll singMas cuando salga la lunacantare, cantare
To my beloved TucumanA mi tucuman querido

I'll sing, I'll singCantare cantare

With hope or with sorrowsCon esperanza o con penas
In the fields of AcheralEn los campos de acheral
I have seen the good moonYo he visto a la luna buena
Kissing the sugarcaneBesando el cañaveral

If we resemble each other in somethingSi en algo nos parecemos
Moon of solitudeLuna de la soledad
I keep walking and singingYo voy andando y cantando
Because that's my way of shiningQue es mi modo de alumbrar
