Luna cautiva
SOLEDAD
Captive Moon
I'm back again
After a long absence
Just like the calandria
That braves the storm
And I bring a thousand songs
Like dry firewood
Memories of campfires
That invite to share mate
And I spotted your ranch
By the roadside
Where the jasmine
Wove an altar
At the foot of the calicanto
The Moon as it passes by
Combed my serenade
At the crest of the willow grove
Your love is a star
With guitar strings
A Moon that shines on me
In my darkness
Approach the gate
You are the owner of my soul
You are my captive Moon
That kisses me and leaves
Listen to my crickets
They are in love
And cry in the night
Laments of the willow grove
The jingling of spurs
From the river over there at the ford
And a serene night
That illuminates my sorrow
I'm back again
My troop is on the trail
Arrieros musiqueros
Help me carry
I had to make a stop
For a tricky bull
There in the calicanto
By the willow grove
