El pampino(original) |
| La pampa mata de abajo |
| El sol castiga de arriba |
| Y entre sol, pampa y salitre |
| Se gana el pobre la vida |
| Pampino de mano fuerte |
| Siempre toreando al destino |
| Hombre que baja la frente |
| Nada tiene de pampino… |
| Me muestro desnudo al viento |
| Para que aprienda de mí |
| Me han dicho que el viento llora |
| Y a mi me gusta reír… |
| Pampino de mano fuerte |
| Siempre toreando al destino |
| Hombre que baja la frente |
| Nada tiene de pampino… |
| El salitre se va lejos |
| Lo va llevando un vapor… |
| Y el pampino queda solo |
| Entre la pampa y el sol… |
| La pampa mata de abajo |
| El sol castiga de arriba |
| Y entre sol, pampa y salitre |
| Se gana el pobre la vida… |
| (translation) |
| The pampa kills from below |
| The sun punishes from above |
| And between sun, pampas and saltpeter |
| The poor man earns his living |
| strong-hand pampino |
| Always fighting to the destination |
| Man lowering his forehead |
| There is nothing pampino… |
| I show myself naked to the wind |
| for you to learn from me |
| I have been told that the wind cries |
| And I like to laugh... |
| strong-hand pampino |
| Always fighting to the destination |
| Man lowering his forehead |
| There is nothing pampino… |
| The saltpetre goes away |
| She is taking a steam... |
| And the pampino is left alone |
| Between the pampas and the sun… |
| The pampa kills from below |
| The sun punishes from above |
| And between sun, pampas and saltpeter |
| The poor man earns his living... |
