Road to Tucumán
Tango 1946
Music: José Razzano / Cátulo Castillo
Lyrics: José Razzano / Cátulo Castillo
Trotting comes the night
by black tracks of sleep.
The moon, it runs and runs
wearies the oxen
tired and sluggish...
With the blur of his absence
is silently staining...
and the wheels are crying
that go
on their way to Tucumán...
No need to hurry, Barcino!...
Let's go slowly...
After all, walking is my destiny
and destiny
is a goal
that I already have in the cart...
No need to hurry, barcino,
her calico is gone...
If she went as she came,
sad shadow on the road
that cut my loneliness...
Deathly white on her face,
she was bitter with cold...
She was taken at dawn,
crossed in my overo,
on her way to the day...
I kept her braids
and she carried my memory
to cry out in the footprints,
that go
on the way to Tucumán...
