Del Chúcaro
Horacio Guarany
Lyrics
Translation
Despunta la madrugada
The dawn breaks
Se va la vida con él
Life goes away with it
El bailarín de la noche
The dancer of the night
Don Santiago Ayala
Don Santiago Ayala
El gran bailarín
The great dancer
Lleva en el alma una zamba
Carries in his soul a zamba
Duerme un malambo con él
A malambo sleeps with him
Y con una chacarera
And with a chacarera
Se besa en el alba
They kiss at dawn
No tiene mujer
He doesn't have a woman
Será que el Chúcaro siempre
Perhaps the Chúcaro always
Fue siempre chúcaro y gris
Was always rough and gray
Que no le duran mujeres
That women don't last for him
Las gasta en el baile
He spends them in the dance
Hasta hacerlas morir
Until they die
Que no le duran mujeres
That women don't last for him
Las gasta en el baile
He spends them in the dance
El gran bailarín
The great dancer
Salieron de sus mudanzas
They came from his moves
Claveles, rosas, jazmín
Carnations, roses, jasmine
Que hoy volarán por el mundo
That today will fly around the world
Llevando el recuerdo del gran bailarín
Taking the memory of the great dancer
No se sabe si ha cantado
It's not known if he's sung
Pero le gusta cantar
But he likes to sing
Y es que le sobra guitarra
And because he has plenty of guitar
La Viola a su lado
The Viola by his side
Es un canto inmortal
It's an immortal song
