La Ariscona (part. Pepe Guerra)

This milonga is a milongaEsta milonga es milonga
And it's from the yerbal hillsY es de sierras del yerbal
I was told by the grotasMe la contaron las grotas
And the sharpening stonesY las piedras de afilar

The rumor of the romerilloEl rumor del romerillo
And the wind in the carob treeY el viento en el carobal
And the sly lookY la mirada ariscona
Of the wild animalDel animal montaraz

It seems to me that I hear itMe parece que la oigo
A chestnut horse passing byEn un rosillo pasar
The rider whistlesEl jinete va chiflando
And it's the Indian baladánY es el indio baladán

Fields of the salamancaCampos de la salamanca
Road to Batoví!Camino del Batoví!
There, the land is lonelyAhí sí, la tierra está sola
When going out to the ruyínAl salir a lo'el ruyín

On the Colorado hillEn el cerro Colorado
The wind whistles as it passesLa chifla, el viento al pasar
And the alert-eyed hareY la liebre de ojo abierto
Listens from among the chilcalLa escucha d'entre el chilcal

On the rocks, the lizardsEn las piedras los lagartos
Start to ponderSe ponen a cavilar
About time and silenceSobre el tiempo y el silencio
In the most natural wayDel modo más natural

In the gestures of the peopleEn el yeito de la gente
And in the way of speakingY en el modo de prosiar
In the mate that is offeredEn el mate que se brinda
It's not heard but it's thereNo se la oye pero está

And there at Alpirio Núñez's placeY allá en lo de Alpirio Núñez
Very close to the lilíBien cerquita 'e lo lilí
With accordion and guitarCon acordeón y guitarra
I danced until dawnEn un baile amanecí

And one morning it happenedY sucedió una mañana
That I saddled my pigeonQue mi palomo ensillé
And I brought her with meY me la traje conmigo
And I didn't go to return herY no la fui a devolver

And I brought her with meY me la traje conmigo
And I didn't go to return herY no la fui a devolver
And I didn't go to return herY no la fui a devolver
And I didn't go to return herY no la fui a devolver
