Lyrics of La Pomeña - Mercedes Sosa

La Pomeña (original)

Eulogia tapia en la poma
Al aire da su ternura
Si pasa sobre la arena
Y va pisando la luna
El trigo que va cortando
Madura por su cintura
Mirando flores de alfalfa
Sus ojos negros se azulan
El sauce de tu casa
Esta llorando
Porque te roban eulogia
Carnavaleando
La cara se le enharina
La sombra se le enarena
Cantando y desencantando
Se le entreveran las penas
Viene en un caballo blanco
La caja en sus manos tiembla
Y cuando se hunde la noche
Es una dalia morena

(translation)

Eulogia tapia in la poma
To the air he gives his tenderness
If it passes over the sand
And it's stepping on the moon
The wheat that is cutting
Mature for her waist
Looking at alfalfa flowers
Her black eyes turn blue
The willow of your house
She's crying
Because they steal eulogy
carnival
His face is covered in flour
The shadow is sanded
Singing and disenchanting
The penalties will be mixed
She comes on a white horse
The box in her hands trembles
And when she sinks the night
She is a brown dahlia
