Namoro de corvo
Leonel Gomez
Crow's Courtship
In a bare hill
Pearl of stone and tuna
Brightened by the white moon
The rounded frame
At the break of dawn
A figure could be seen
There at the top of the heights
Black passionate figure
The green pasture of the pampa
By the wet dew
And the passionate couple
In the spring nights
To be like that, how I wish
Coveting and longing
Thinking about the sad fate
Of my desolate heart
(chorus)
The crow courted the crow
And she with a sullen air
Dark as the cambona
Flourishing the beak in the feathers
And the old crow
Veteran and cooperative
Dropped a wing over
Embracing the beautiful brunette
I remembered past turns
Of a black pala I had
And the gallop that came
Towards the village
And always the same bragado
Rein and hoof
I also remembered the mulatto
For whom I was bewitched
So the romance happened
For those who remember the wonder
And I swear by any saint
Even by Our Lady
That I discovered at that moment
The brute force of love
And I tell you yes sir
That crows also court
