Lyrics
La noche que ande Argamonte
Tiene que ser noche negra
Por si lo vienen siguiendo
Y le brillan las espuelas
Argamonte por el monte
Pasa despacio a caballo
Los lazos de su memoria
Al aire van cuatrereando
El gaucho que va a caballo
No desensille
No vaya que, andando el vino
Me lo acuchillen
Cuando Argamonte se acuerda
Que andaba por esos chacos
La luna le pone encima
La sombra del contrabando
Y si canta una baguala
A orillas del Pilcomayo
El agua se lleva un toro
Cuando lo están despenando
Lyrics translation
The night I walk Argamonte
It's got to be black night.
In case they follow him
And his Spurs shine
Argamonte per el monte
Ride slowly on horseback
The bonds of his memory
In the air they go four
The Gaucho riding a horse
Do not undress
Don't go that, walking the wine
Stab Me.
When Argamonte remembers
That he was walking around those jacks
The moon puts it on
The shadow of smuggling
And if he sings a baguala
On the banks of the Pilcomayo
Water takes a bull
When they're taking him down
