La Tempranera
Eras la tempranera
Niña primera, amanecida flor
Suave rosa galana
La más bonita tucumana
Frente de adolescente
Gentil milagro de tu trigueña piel
Negros ojos sinceros
Paloma tibia de Monteros
Al bailar esta zamba fue
Que rendido te amé
Eras la tempranera
De mis arrestos prisionera
Mía ya te sabía
Cuando por fin te coroné
Era la primavera
La pregonera del delicado amor
Lloro amargamente
Aquel romance adolescente
Dura tristeza oscura
Frágil amor que no supe retener
Oye, paloma mía
Esta tristísima elegía
The Early Riser
You were the early riser
First girl, flower at dawn
Gentle gallant pink
The most beautiful girl from Tucumán
Adolescent forehead
Gentle miracle of your brunette skin
Sincere black eyes
Warm dove from Monteros
It was while dancing this zamba
That I fell in love with you
You were the early riser
Prisoner of my desires
I already knew you were mine
When I finally crowned you
It was spring
The herald of delicate love
I cry bitterly
For that teenage romance
Hard dark sadness
Fragile love that I couldn't hold onto
Listen, my dove
To this very sad elegy
