The Enchanting Tale of 'La Ariscona'

Lucas Sugo's song 'La Ariscona,' featuring Pepe Guerra, is a captivating milonga that transports listeners to the serene and rustic landscapes of Uruguay. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the countryside, filled with natural elements like the whispering wind, the rustling of the romerillo, and the watchful eyes of wild animals. The song's setting is deeply rooted in the sierras and yerbal, evoking a sense of timelessness and connection to the land.

The narrative unfolds through the eyes of a rider, who seems to be in tune with the natural world around him. The imagery of the jinete (rider) whistling as he passes through the fields and the mention of specific locations like Salamanca and Batoví add a layer of authenticity and cultural richness to the song. The lyrics also highlight the simplicity and natural rhythm of life in the countryside, where even the lizards ponder the passage of time and silence in the most natural way.

As the song progresses, it takes a more personal turn, recounting a morning when the narrator saddles his palomo (dove) and takes 'La Ariscona' with him, never to return her. This act of taking 'La Ariscona' symbolizes a deep, perhaps romantic, connection that the narrator feels with the land and its spirit. The repetition of 'Y no la fui a devolver' (And I did not return her) emphasizes the permanence of this bond. The song beautifully captures the essence of rural life, the connection to nature, and the timeless traditions that define the Uruguayan countryside.
