Lyrics
El viejo rio que va
Cruzando el atardecer
Como un gran camalotal
Lleva la balsa en su loco vaiven
Rumbo a la cosecha cosechero yo sere
Y entre copos blancos mi esperanza cantare
Con manos curtidas dejare en el algodon
Mi corazon
La tierra del chaco quebrachera y montaraz
Prendera en mi sangre con un ronco sapucay
Y sera en el surco mi sombrero bajo el sol
Faro de luz
Algodon que se va … Que se va … Que se va …
Plata blanda mojada de luna y de sol
Un ranchito borracho de sueños y amor
Quiero yo
De corrientes vengo yo
Barranquera ya se ve
Y en la costa un acordeon
Gimiendo va su lento chamame
Rumbo a la cosecha cosechero yo me ire
Y entre copos blancos mi esperanza cantare
Con manos curtidas dejare en el algodon
Mi corazon
Lyrics translation
The Old River that goes
Crossing the sunset
Like a great Camelot
He carries the raft in his crazy vaiven
On the way to harvest Harvester I'll be
And among white flakes my hope will sing
With tanned hands I'll leave on the cotton
My heart
The land of Chaco quebrachera and montaraz
It will light in my blood with a hoarse sapucay
And it will be in the furrow my hat under the sun
Light beacon
Cotton that goes ... that goes ... that goes …
Moon and sun wet soft silver
A drunken ranch of dreams and love
I want to.
From currents I come
Barranquera already seen
And on the coast an accordion
Moaning goes its slow chamame
On the way to the harvest Harvester I'll go
And among white flakes my hope will sing
With tanned hands I'll leave on the cotton
My heart
