El Tirador Plateado

Sos el tirador plateao

You're the silver shooter

Que mi a chiripá sujeta

That holds my chiripá

Sos ejes de mi carreta

You're the axles of my cart

Sos tuces de mi tostao

You're the reins of my chestnut

Sos el pañuelo bordao

You're the embroidered handkerchief

De un pobre gaucho cantor

Of a poor gaucho singer

Sos la prienda más mejor

You're the best charm

De mi chapeao de paseo

Of my finely dressed stroll

Sos yapa de mi sobeo

You're the bonus of my luck

Sos trienza de mi arreador

You're the whip of my herder

Sos la mata culantrillo

You're the wild coriander

Que crece en el manantial

That grows in the spring

Sos vaina de mi puñal

You're the sheath of my dagger

Sos la parva donde trillo

You're the heap where I thresh

Sos alas de mi lomillo

You're the wings of my flank

De trabajo brasilero

From Brazilian hard work

Sos yesca de mi yesquero

You're the tinder of my tinderbox

Sos paño de mi bombacha

You're the fabric of my trousers

Sos potranca criada a guacha

You're the young filly raised as a stray

Por eso tanto te quiero

That's why I love you so much

Y pensar que me guardás

And to think that you keep

En tu pecho un rinconcito

In your chest a little corner

Donde llamea un fueguito

Where a little fire burns

Que no se apaga jamás

That never goes out

Yo siento alzar más y más

I feel it rise more and more

La llama en mi idolatría

The flame in my idolatry

Pues mi mayor alegría

For my greatest joy

Y mi sueñito mejor

And my dearest little dream

Es jinetear en tu amor

Is to ride in your love

Y maniarte al alma mía

And to manage my soul
