La Pastora
Carlos Gardel
The Shepherdess
As soon as dawn breaks
The day's light comes
As soon as dawn breaks
The day's light comes
A shepherdess has come down
At the foot of a mountain
She brings some papers
With the story of her life
She brings some papers
With the story of her life
And as she reads them
She falls asleep
The house where she lived
Was made of enamel and stone
The house where she lived
Was made of enamel and stone
Brushes won't paint
As beautifully as she was
Poor shepherdess
Who has passed away in the fields
Poor shepherdess
Who has passed away in the fields
May God grant her glory
For having suffered so much
May God grant her glory
For having suffered so much
