Adiós Pampa Mía
Francisco Canaro
Goodbye My Pampa
Goodbye, my pampa!
I'm leaving, I'm going to foreign lands
Goodbye, paths I've traveled
Rivers, mountains, and valleys
Shack where I was born
If we don't see each other again
Beloved land
I want you to know
That as I leave, I leave my life
Goodbye!
Leaving you, my pampa
My eyes and soul fill
With the green of your pastures
And the trembling of the stars
With the song of your winds
And the sobbing of guitars
That sometimes made me happy
And other times made me cry
Goodbye, my pampa!
I'm going on the path of hope
Goodbye, plains I've galloped
Paths, hills, and ravines
Places where I've dreamed
I will return to your soil
When I sense
That my soul is escaping
Like a dove to the sky
Goodbye!
I'm leaving, my pampa!
Goodbye!
