Translation

Yo no le canto a la Luna

I don't sing to the Moon

Porque alumbra y nada más

Because it shines and nothing more

Le canto porque ella sabe

I sing to her because she knows

De mi largo caminar

About my long journey


Ay, lunita tucumana

Oh, little moon from Tucumán

Tamborcito calchaquí

Little drum from Calchaquí

Compañera de los gauchos

Companion of the gauchos

En las noches de Tafí

In the nights of Tafí


Perdido en las cerrazones

Lost in the thickets

Quien sabe vidita

Who knows, my dear

Por donde andaré

Where I'll be

Mas cuando salga la Luna

But when the Moon rises

Cantaré, cantaré

I will sing, I will sing

A mi Tucumán querido

To my beloved Tucumán

Cantaré, cantaré, cantaré

I will sing, I will sing, I will sing


Con esperanza o con pena

With hope or with sorrow

En los campos de Acheral

In the fields of Acheral

Yo he visto la Luna buena

I have seen the good Moon

Besando el cañaveral

Kissing the sugarcane field


En algo nos parecemos

We resemble each other

Luna de la soledad

Moon of loneliness

Yo voy andando y cantando

I go walking and singing

Que es mi modo de alumbrar

Because that's my way of shining
