Paroles et traduction Anibal Troilo - Tapera

Tapera

Al fin, un rancho más que se deja,
Total, porque no ha vuelto la prenda,
Allí, donde .se muere una senda,
Allí, donde los pastos se quejan
Y el viento se aleja silbando un dolor.
Total, otra cocina sin brasas
Y un gaucho que pasa
Sin rumbo ni amor...

Roldanita de mi pozo
Que cantaba su alborozo,
Ya no habrás de cantar nunca más.
Sombra fresca del alero
Donde estaban los jilgueros,
Los jilgueros que hoy no están.
Brillazón de mis trigales
Que mancharon los cardales
Cuando un día comencé a penar,
Cuando entraron los abrojos
A morder en mis rastrojos
Y me eché a rodar.

Se fue, dirá la gente del pago;
Se fue, tal vez detrás de otro sueño...
Al fin, otro ranchito sin dueño;
Al fin, otra tapera tirada
Sin tropa ni aguada,
Sin gente ni Dios.
Total, otro fogón desdichado,
Que un alma ha dejado
Sin fuego ni amor.

Shack

At last, another ranch house is abandoned,
All because the beloved one hasn't returned,
There, where a path dies,
There, where the grasses moan
And the wind drifts away, whistling a sadness.
All in all, another kitchen with no embers
And a gaucho passing by
Without direction or love...

Little spinning wheel of my well
That used to sing its joy,
You'll never sing again.
Cool shade of the eaves
Where the goldfinches used to be,
The goldfinches that are gone today.
Bountiful light of my wheat fields
That the thistles have stained
Since the day I began to grieve,
Since the thistles began
To bite into my stubble
And I set out to wander.

He's gone, the people in the district will say;
He's gone, perhaps chasing another dream...
At last, another little ranch without an owner;
At last, another shack abandoned
Without livestock or water,
Without people or God.
All in all, another unfortunate campfire
That a soul has left
Without fire or love.
