Paroles et traduction Adriana Varela - Caminito Soleado

Caminito Soleado

Claro caminito criollo
Florido y soleado
Con pañuelo bordeado
Vos me viste pasar
Mientras los pastos amigos
Que saben mi anhelo
Como dulce consuelo
Su verde saludo
Me hacían llegar

Cruzando montes y valles
Con alas venía
Mi pobre carreta
Con su carga de esperanzas
Las ruedas le hacían
Al viento gambetas
Y cuando ya atravesaba
La hondura del valle
De lenta corriente
Una congoja naciente
Detuvo su impulso
Parando su andar
Porque en ese arroyito
A veces tus ojos
Se saben mirar

Y así que vi su casita
De puro celoso
Me sobró el pampero
Para contarle chismoso
Que traigo en mi apero
Mil prendas de amor
Para su pelo una cinta
Que llevo escondida
De lindo color
Para sus labios mi antojo
Y para sus ojos
Un claro cristal
Y pa′ su blanca garganta
El criollo que canta
Tiene este cantar

Claro caminito criollo
Florido y soleado
Yo quiero que se asombre
Cuando ella me nombre
Al verme llegar

Sunny Little Road

Oh sunny little road
Full of flowers, full of sun
With a bordered handkerchief
You saw me pass
While the friendly grasses
That know my longing
As sweet comfort
Their green greeting
Made me reach

Crossing mountains and valleys
With wings came
My poor cart
With its load of hopes
The wheels made
Pirouettes in the wind
And when it already crossed
The depths of the valley
Of slow current
A nascent sorrow
Stopped his momentum
Stopping his walking
Because in that little stream
Sometimes your eyes
Know how to look

And so when I saw his little house
From pure jealousy
I had so much left over from the wind
To tell him gossip
That I bring in my harness
A thousand tokens of love
For her hair a ribbon
That I carry hidden
Of pretty color
For her lips my whim
And for her eyes
A clear crystal
And for her white throat
The singing gaucho
Has this song

Oh sunny little road
Full of flowers, full of sun
I want her to be amazed
When she names me
Upon seeing me arrive
