Translation of the song lyrics Le Gustaba Jujuy - Cacho Castaña

Le Gustaba Jujuy (original)

Le gustaba Jujuy, cuando llovía
inventaba contratos que no existían
la cosa era escapar, llegar al norte
y entre Salta y Jujuy pasar las noches
Trovador de los charcos en la montaña
te inventaste una gira y hoy se te extraña
en el cielo estarás muy aburrido
porque están con el diablo nuestros amigos
Romeo, que tenías las ilusiones
de encontrar una Julieta por los balcones
corriendo te cruzaste en el andén
y por andar apurado te equivocaste de tren
De noche por Jujuy en las esquinas
siempre lo ven caminar adonde el pueblo termina
de smoking negro con estrellas la solapa
y entre sombras y balcones regalando serenatas
Dónde están tus camisas de luna y brillo?
los duendes que dormían en tus bolsillos
andarán como yo desorientados
de tu percha quedamos todos colgados
Poeta que de noche por las esquinas
inventabas romances que no existían
hermano de aventuras y de bohemia
al quedarme sin vos, quedé de seña
Romeo, que tenías las ilusiones
de encontrar una Julieta por los balcones
corriendo te cruzaste en el andén
y por andar apurado te equivocaste de tren
De noche por Jujuy en las esquinas
siempre lo ven caminar adonde el pueblo termina
de smoking negro con estrellas la solapa
y entre sombras y balcones regalando serenatas
Le gustaba Jujuy, cuando llovía…
«Hermano Bochi, este recuerdo es para vos,
Bochi Iacopetti»

Le Gustaba Jujuy (translation)

He liked Jujuy, when it rained
he invented contracts that did not exist
the thing was to escape, to reach the north
and between Salta and Jujuy spend the nights
Troubadour of the puddles in the mountain
you invented a tour and today you are missed
in heaven you will be very bored
because our friends are with the devil
Romeo, you had the illusions
to find a Juliet on the balconies
running you crossed paths on the platform
and because you were in a hurry you took the wrong train
At night in Jujuy on the corners
They always see him walk where the town ends
black tuxedo with stars on the lapel
and between shadows and balconies giving serenades
Where are your moon and shine shirts?
the goblins that slept in your pockets
they will be like me disoriented
from your hanger we are all hanging
Poet who at night on the corners
you invented romances that did not exist
brother of adventures and bohemia
when I was left without you, I was left as a sign
Romeo, you had the illusions
to find a Juliet on the balconies
running you crossed paths on the platform
and because you were in a hurry you took the wrong train
At night in Jujuy on the corners
They always see him walk where the town ends
black tuxedo with stars on the lapel
and between shadows and balconies giving serenades
He liked Jujuy, when it rained…
«Brother Bochi, this memory is for you,
Bochi Iacopetti»
