Tucuman Moon

Luna Tucumana

I don't sing to the moonYo no le canto a la Luna
Because it lights up and nothing elsePorque alumbra y nada más
I sing to her because she knowsLe canto porque ella sabe
From my long walkDe mi largo caminar

Oh, little moon from TucumánAy lunita tucumana
Calchaqui little drumTamborcito calchaquí
Companion of the gauchosCompañera de los gauchos
On the paths of TafiEn las sendas del Tafi

Lost in the gloomPerdido en las cerrazones
Who knows my life and where I will be?Quien sabe viditay por donde andaré
More when the moon risesMás cuando salga la Luna
I will sing, I will singCantare, cantare
To my beloved TucumánA mi Tucumán querido
I will sing, I will sing, I will singCantare, cantare, cantare

With hope or with sorrowCon esperanza o con pena
In the fields of AcheralEn los campos de Acheral
I have seen the good MoonYo he visto a la Luna buena
Kissing the cane fieldBesando el cañaveral

If we have anything in commonSi en algo nos parecemos
Moon of lonelinessLuna de la soledad
I'm walking and singingYo voy andando y cantando
That is my way of lightingQue es mi modo de alumbrar
