Lyrics

Yo no le canto a la luna
porque alumbra y nada más,
le canto porque ella sabe
de mi largo caminar
¡Ay lunita tucumana!
tamborcito calchaquí
compañera de los gauchos
en las sendas de Tafí
Perdido en las cerrazones
¿quiÃ(c)n sabe, vidita, por dónde andaré?
Mas cuando salga la luna
cantaré, cantaré,
a mi Tucumán querido,
cantaré, cantaré, cantaré.
Con esperanza o con pena
en los campos de Acheral
yo he visto a la luna buena
besando el cañaveral
En algo nos parecemos
luna de la soledad,
yo voy andando y cantando
que es mi modo de alumbrar.
Perdido en las cerrazones
¿quiÃ(c)n sabe, vidita, por dónde andaré?
Mas cuando salga la luna
cantaré, cantaré,
a mi Tucumán querido,
cantaré, cantaré, cantaré.

Lyrics translation

I don't sing to the moon
because it lights up and nothing else,
I sing to her because she knows
of my long walk
Oh, Tucuman lunita!
tamborcito calchaquÃ
compaà ± era de los gauchos
on the paths of TafÃ
Lost in the locks
Who knows, vidita, where will I walk?
But when the moon rises
sing, sing,
to my beloved TucumÃ,
Sing, Sing, Sing.
With hope or with sorrow
in the fields of Acheral
I've seen the good moon
kissing the waterfall
We look something like each other
moon of solitude,
I'm walking and singing
which is my way of lighting.
Lost in the locks
Who knows, vidita, where will I walk?
But when the moon rises
sing, sing,
to my beloved TucumÃ,
Sing, Sing, Sing.
