Zamba de Argamonte(original) |
La noche que ande Argamonte |
Tiene que ser noche negra |
Por si lo vienen siguiendo |
Y le brillan las espuelas |
Argamonte por el monte |
Pasa despacio a caballo |
Los lazos de su memoria |
Al aire van cuatrereando |
El gaucho que va a caballo |
No desensille |
No vaya que, andando el vino |
Me lo acuchillen |
Cuando Argamonte se acuerda |
Que andaba por esos chacos |
La luna le pone encima |
La sombra del contrabando |
Y si canta una baguala |
A orillas del Pilcomayo |
El agua se lleva un toro |
Cuando lo están despenando |
(translation) |
The night that Argamonte walks |
It has to be black night |
In case they are following you |
And his spurs shine |
Argamonte by the mount |
Go slowly on horseback |
The ties of his memory |
In the air they go quatrereando |
The gaucho who goes on horseback |
don't unsaddle |
Don't go that, walking the wine |
they stabbed me |
When Argamonte remembers |
That he walked through those chacos |
The moon puts on him |
The shadow of smuggling |
And if he sings a baguala |
On the banks of the Pilcomayo |
The water takes a bull |
When they are unwrapping it |
