La Morocha
Ángel Villoldo
The Brunette
I am the brunette,
the most graceful,
the most renowned
in this town.
I am the one who
very early in the morning
offers a mate to the countryman.
I, with a sweet accent,
next to my little ranch,
sing a little song
with tender passion,
while my owner
goes out for a ride
on his horse.
I am the Argentine brunette,
who doesn't feel sorrows
and happily goes through life
with her songs.
I am the kind companion
of the noble city cowboy,
who keeps affection
for her owner.
I am the passionate brunette,
who feels in her soul
the fire of love.
I am the one who
loves with ardor
the most noble and brave cowboy.
In my beloved ranch,
under the vineyard,
on a silver night,
with sweet emotion,
I sing to the pampero,
to my beloved homeland
and to my faithful love.
I am the Argentine brunette,
who doesn't feel sorrows
and happily goes through life
with her songs.
I am the kind companion
of the noble city cowboy,
who keeps affection
for her owner.
