Luna Tucumana
Yo no le canto a la luna
Porque alumbra y nada mas
E canto porque ella sabe
De mi largo caminar
Ay lunita tucumana
Tamborcito calchaqui
Compañera de los gauchos
En las sendas del tafi
Perdido en las cerrazones
Quien sabe viditay, por donde andare
Mas cuando salga la lunacantare, cantare
A mi tucuman querido
Cantare cantare
Con esperanza o con penas
En los campos de acheral
Yo he visto a la luna buena
Besando el cañaveral
Si en algo nos parecemos
Luna de la soledad
Yo voy andando y cantando
Que es mi modo de alumbrar
Tucuman Moon
I don't sing to the moon
Because it shines and nothing more
I sing because she knows
About my long journey
Oh Tucuman moon
Little drum of Calchaqui
Companion of the gauchos
On the paths of Tafi
Lost in the thickets
Who knows, my dear, where I'll be
But when the moon rises, I'll sing, I'll sing
To my beloved Tucuman
I'll sing, I'll sing
With hope or with sorrows
In the fields of Acheral
I have seen the good moon
Kissing the sugarcane
If we resemble each other in something
Moon of solitude
I keep walking and singing
Because that's my way of shining
