Mercedes Sosa "Balderrama" lyrics

Translation to:en

Balderrama

A orillitas del canalcuando llega la mañanasale cantando la nochedesde lo de Balderrama

Adentro puro temblorel bombo con la bagualay se alborota quemandodele chispear la guitarra

Lucero, solitobrote del albadónde iremos a pararsi se apaga Balderrama

Si uno se pone a cantarun cochero lo acompañay en cada vaso de vinotiembla el lucero del alba

Zamba del amanecerarrullo de Balderramacanta por la medianochellora por la madrugada.

Balderrama

On the side of the channelWhen morning comesThe night comes out singingFrom Balderrama's house

Inside is all tremblingThe drum with the bagualaAnd it gets disturbed, burningSparking the guitar

Bright star, aloneOutbreak of the sunriseWhere are we going to end upIf Balderrama's light turns off

If one starts singingA coachaman accompanies themAnd in every glass of wineThe bright star of the sunrise trembles

Zamba of the dawnLullaby of BalderramaSings at midnightCries at dawning.
