Lyrics
De Corrales a Tranqueras
Cuántas leguas quedarán
Dicen que son once leguas
Nunca las pude contar
Las hice con agua y viento
Escarcha de luna y sol
Pero entonces no contaba
Porque iba rumbo al amor
Entonces todo era canto:*
Agua, tierra, viento y sol;
Entonces todo cantaba,**
Porque iba cantando yo
Mi flete era parejero
Mis años, de domador
Y los caminos cortitos
Pa l trote del corazón
Caminos de mi recuerdo
Tierra roja y pedregal
Bordea o de cerros parejos
Que se empinan al pasar
Vigilante, miriñaque
Cerros de mi soledad
Repecha o por mis cantares
Sombras de toro y chilcal
Hoy, que me duele la vida
Cansa o de tanto changar
Balda o por los redomones
Ya no las puedo contar
Y quebra o por una pena
Pregunto a mi soledad:***
De Corrales a Tranqueras
¿cuántas leguas quedarán?
Lyrics translation
From Corrales to Tranqueras
How many leagues will remain
They say it's eleven leagues.
I could never count them.
I made them with water and wind
Frost of Moon and sun
But then it didn't count
Because I was on my way to love
Then it was all singing:*
Water, Earth, Wind and sun;
Then everything sang,**
Because I was singing
My freight was even
My years as a tamer
And the court ways
Pa L heart trot
Paths of my memory
Red Earth and Pebble
Border or even Hills
That are steep as they pass
Watchman, miriñaque
Hills of my solitude
Repecha or for my songs
Shadows of bull and chilcal
Today, it hurts my life
Tired of so much changar
Shelf or by the redomons
I can't count them anymore.
And breaks or for a pity
I ask my loneliness:***
From Corrales to Tranqueras
how many leagues left?
