Alberto Morán 07-03-1950 VIEJO GAUCHO Viejo gaucho, vos sabés Cuál fue la historia, De seguro la tIenés En la memoria. Escuchámela nomás Porque al contarla, Otra vez sueño tener, En mi triste soledad Sus caricias del ayer. Fue tan hondo aquel amor Que nos tuvimos, Que ante el odio y el rencor No lo rompimos. Mas en un lance fatal Llegó la muerte, Y una noche de dolor, A mi puerta fue a llamar Y a mi china se llevó. Con agradecimiento a OLD GAUCHO Old gaucho, you know, What was that story, Surely you kept it in In your memory. Just listen to me, Because, in recounting it, I dream in my sad loneliness Of having again Her caresses of the past. So deep was that love We had, That before the hatred and resentment We couldn’t break it. But in a terrible argument Death came, And one night of sorrow, It was to call at my door And my woman was taken away. English translation by Paul Bottomer © All Rights remain with the owners
