Lyrics
Al fin, un rancho más que se deja,
total, porque no ha vuelto la prenda,
allí, donde .se muere una senda,
allí, donde los pastos se quejan
y el viento se aleja silbando un dolor.
Total, otra cocina sin brasas
y un gaucho que pasa
sin rumbo ni amor...

Roldanita de mi pozo
que cantaba su alborozo,
ya no habrás de cantar nunca más.
Sombra fresca del alero
donde estaban los jilgueros,
los jilgueros que hoy no están.
Brillazón de mis trigales
que mancharon los cardales
cuando un día comencé a penar,
cuando entraron los abrojos
a morder en mis rastrojos
y me eché a rodar.

Se fue, dirá la gente del pago;
se fue, tal vez detrás de otro sueño...
Al fin, otro ranchito sin dueño;
al fin, otra tapera tirada
sin tropa ni aguada,
sin gente ni Dios.
Total, otro fogón desdichado,
que un alma ha dejado
sin fuego ni amor.
English translation
Finally, one more ranch that is left,
because the garment has not returned,
there, where a path dies,
there, where the pastures complain
and the wind whistles away a pain.
All in all, another stove without embers
and a gaucho passing by
without direction or love...

Roldanita of my well
who sang her joy,
you will never sing again.
Cool shadow of the eaves
where the goldfinches were,
the goldfinches that are gone today.
Brightness of my wheat fields
that stained the cardinals
when one day I began to grieve,
when the thistles came in
to bite in my stubble
and I rolled away.

He went away, the people of the land will say;
he left, perhaps behind another dream...
At last, another little ranch without owner;
at last, another tapera thrown away
without troops or water,
without people or God.
All in all, another wretched hearth,
that a soul has left
without fire or love.
