Puerto Tirol

Because you’re the flower of the Chaco
I sing to you, Puerto Tirol
To me, you were the melting pot that
Illuminated my understanding
I carry you with me
In my journey every day
And even far away, I’ll sing to you
To the rhythm of my instrument

On spring nights
By the light of the moon
Drawn on the lagoon
I sang my serenades

I learned in the quebracho woods
To spend my life singing
And in my verses leaving
Like honey in the beehives

Tirol, blooming little town
Abandoned little corner
Evoking my past
I’ll never forget you

As long as I live, I’ll carry
You as a cherished memory
Because in the Chaco is where
I spent my childhood

By the banks of the Río Negro
I heard for the first time
With a sweet, true voice
The love of a woman

That’s why today, distant from yesterday
I want to express my sincerest memory
To you, until I see you again

As long as I live, I’ll carry
You as a cherished memory
Because in the Chaco is where
I spent my childhood
