Lyrics
Guitarra, guitarra mia
Por los caminos del viento
Vuelan en tus armonias
Coraje, amor y lamento.
Lanzas criollas de antao
A tu conjuro pelearon;
Mi china oyendo tu canto
Sus hondas pupilas de pena lloraron.
Guitarra, guitarra criolla,
Dile que es mio ese llanto!
Azules noches pamperas
Donde calme sus enojos,
Hay dos estrellas que mueren
Cuando se duermen sus ojos.
Guitarra de mis amores
Con tu penacho sonoro
Vas remolcando mis ansias
Por rutas marchitas que empolvan dolores.
Guitarra, noble y florida,
Calla si ella me olvida!
Midiendo eternas distancias
Hoy brotan de tu encordado
Sones que tienen fragancias.
De un tiempo gaucho olvidado
Cuando se eleva tu canto
Como se aclara la vida,
A veces tienen tus cuerdas.
Caricias de dulces trenzas renegridas
Como ave azul sin amarras
Asi es mi criolla guitarra.
Lyrics translation
Guitar, guitar mia
By the ways of the wind
They fly in your harmonies
Courage, love and regret.
Antao Creole Spears
To your spell they fought;
My china hearing Your Song
His slingshot pupils of sorrow wept.
Guitar, Creole guitar,
Tell him that cry is mine!
Blue pamperas nights
Where you calm your anger,
There are two stars that die
When your eyes fall asleep.
Guitar of my loves
With your sound plume
You're pulling my cravings
By wilted paths that powder pain.
Guitar, noble and florida,
Shut up if she forgets me!
Measuring eternal distances
Today they sprout from your string
They're fragrant.
From a gaucho time forgotten
When your song rises
How life becomes clear,
Sometimes they have your ropes.
Caresses of sweet renegade braids
Like Blue Bird with no strings attached
That's my Creole guitar.
