El Lunar de Mi Tropilla (Milonga)

The Spot on My Herd (Milonga)

El Lunar de Mi Tropilla (Milonga)

White beak, chokerPico blanco, gargantilla
And blue on the side of the bowY zarco del lao' del lazo
I used to have a spotSupe tener un picazo
On my herdDe lunar en mi tropilla
It was of simple lineageEra de laya sencilla
And without the need to gallopY sin yel pa' galopiar
I have known how to test itYo lo he sabido probar
On different occasionsEn distintas ocasiones
When the bosses demandedCuando exigían los patrones
To know how to performSaberse desempeñar

Spot: My thoughtsPicazo: Mis pensamientos
I want to honestly anchor youQuiero sincero atracarte
And enter to praise youY dentrar a alabancearte
As you deserveComo es tu merecimiento
It's not kitchen talk or a taleNo es charla de cocina ni cuento
To weigh your conditionsPonderear tus conciciones
There are truths aplentySon verdades de a montones
That you left in your wakeLas que dejaste a tu paso
Because you were, spotPorque vos fuiste, picazo
Reason for conversationsMotivo 'e conversaciones

When I entered a townCuando dentraba a un poblao'
And stepped on the edgesY pisaba las orillas
It made an arch and from the ribsSe hacía un arco y de costillas
It walked sidewaysSe paseaba de costao'
Sometimes from side to sideA veces de lao' a lao'
From the street I used to goDe la calle solía dir'
For me it was about achievingPa' mi era el de conseguir
And because of the womenY por culpa de las mujeres
I filled it with sunrisesLo enllené de amaneceres
And sleepless nightsY de noches sin dormir

To a sweet yokeA una yerra de confite
Where I fell as a gluttonDonde cayí de goloso
I teamed up with a ladHice yunta con un mozo
To whom I didn't give revengeAl que no le di desquite
Like a verse of sweetsComo verso de confites
The countryman was left rolled upQuedó el paisano enrollao'
He ran out of a reddish oneSe le acabó un colorao'
Faster than a shotMás ligero que un balazo
And I continued in the spotY yo seguí en el picazo
As if I had just startedComo si hubiese empezao'

That's why on this dayPor eso es que en este día
As I remember youEn que te voy recordando
I sing to you with pleasureCon gusto le voy cantando
My best milongaLa mejor milonga mía
The joy is so greatEs tan grande la alegría
When I sing to the spotCuando le canto al picazo
Because truly it was a hitPorque en verdad fue un pingazo
The spot on my herdEl lunar de mi tropilla
White beak chokerPico blanco gargantilla
And blue on the side of the bowY zarco del lao' del lazo
