Noches Isleñas
Los Fronterizos
Island Nights
Night, oh beautiful moonlit night,
Populated by a thousand stars bathing the waters of the Paraná.
Night, oh night of sweet dreams!,
You are a faithful companion to the sad islander in his solitude.
Night, oh bewitching night to the soul!,
Your gentle breeze has the freshness of a spring.
A rustic and heartfelt song rises towards the infinite,
A song that has blossomed among ceibos, willows, and orange blossom flowers.
The Paraná river shines under its glow.
Crystal night; night of illusion.
Waters that flow away never to return,
Carry with their journey my deep suffering.
Night, oh night of light and calm!
Let the brightness of your radiance illuminate my soul.
Night, oh night of subtle charm!,
Do not let tears hinder me from seeing your splendor.
Night, oh night, as you depart!,
Listen to the sad lament, the sorrowful voice of my anxiety.
Do not let the fruit of so much effort go to waste.
Do not forget the poor islander who suffers and sings on the Paraná.
The Paraná river shines under its glow.
Crystal night; night of illusion.
Waters that flow away never to return,
Carry with their journey my deep suffering.
Island nights... island nights!
