The Lost Ballad

Mercedes Sosa

La Copla Perdida

Ando buscando una copla que lleve mi voz
Hasta la noche estrellada de vino y guitarra de un chango cantor
Hasta la noche estrellada de vino y guitarra de un chango cantor
Cajita tengo para golpear, falta la copla para cantar

Desde el final de la chayas no quieras volver
Has de encontrar al chayero, marchita su albaca, cantar no ai’ poder
Has de encontrar al chayero, marchita su albaca, cantar no ai’ poder
Cajita tengo para golpear, falta la copla para cantar

Tal vez el duende chayero mi copla hallará
Y si lo encuentro en febrero chayando por pando, me la ai’ de entregar
Y si lo encuentro en febrero chayando por pando, me la ai’ de entregar
Cajita tengo para golpear, falta la copla para cantar

Copla, coplita, te ai’ de encontrar

The Lost Ballad

I'm looking for a ballad to carry my voice
To the starry night of wine and guitar of a singing monkey
To the starry night of wine and guitar of a singing monkey
I have a little box to knock, missing the ballad to sing

From the end of the chayas, don't want to go back
You must find the chayero, his basil withered, there's no singing power
You must find the chayero, his basil withered, there's no singing power
I have a little box to knock, missing the ballad to sing

Maybe the chayero spirit will find my ballad
And if I find him in February singing in pando, he'll have to give it to me
And if I find him in February singing in pando, he'll have to give it to me
I have a little box to knock, missing the ballad to sing

Ballad, little ballad, you must be found
