Lyrics
Yo no le canto a la luna
porque alumbra y nada mas…
le canto porque ella sabe
de mi largo caminar.
Ay lunita tucumana
tamborcito calchaqui…
compañera de los gauchos
en las sendas de Tafi.
Perdido en las cerrazones
quien sabe vidita por donde andare'…
mas cuando salga la luna,
cantare', cantare'…
a mi tucuman querido,
cantare' cantare' cantare'.
Con esperanza o con pena,
en los campos de Acheral,
yo he visto 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.
Lyrics translation
I don't sing to the moon
because it lights up and nothing else…
I sing to her because she knows
my long walk.
Ay lunita tucumana
tamborcito calchaqui…
companion of the gauchos
on the paths of Tafi.
Lost in the locks
who knows vidita where to go'…
but when the moon rises,
Sing', Sing'…
to my beloved tucuman,
Sing 'Sing'Sing'.
With hope or with sorrow,
in the fields of Acheral,
I've seen the good moon,
kissing the cane.
We look something like each other,
moon of solitude:
I'm walking and singing,
which is my way of lighting.
