Luna Cordobesa (Chacarera)
Ruben Alberto Benegas
Cordoban Moon (Chacarera)
Sweet moon of my Cordoba
Hanging from your sky
So pretty and so far away
Like my dream
Now your light, over the poplars
Touches a hint of infinity
And a love that was silence
Becomes a shout
Confidant of this tear
That goes with its memories
Don't tell her that I've cried
Because I love her
When your pale little face
Gets wet in the lagoon
I remember other nights
And another moon
The cricket releases its sweetest
Serenade on a string
It doesn't seem like it's singing
More like it's complaining
Through the branches of the trees
The wind plays around
It's the night's elf
Turning into a song
I give you all this music
My Cordoban little moon
And the pearl of dew
Over the mountains
