Sombra gaucha

Even to wade the estuaries
of the ranch "El Cañadon".
as to go to the bathing place of "Los Pinos",
at the weary pace
and its ridomon;
crossing a stranger goes
like an ominous vision
to scare away in the clear paths,
of crafty loves
the black "osession."

Shadow that passes fleeting
as the pain flees
without having neither "apiar" to "apiar"
nor a "solution" to his love's woes.
Soul of a wild gaucho
chuziada a punta 'e traición
Where will the pampero drag his "augada" lamentation?
his "augada" lamentation?....

Tuito, walking the paths
without "riparo" in the "estensión",
to forget in his "squalid" destiny
"ricuerdos" "indinos" (Indian memories)
of his heart
Sad "ricuerdos" matriarchs
even as a curse
that are "trained" to rummage murderous
without truce and affection,
the dead "elusion."
