Текст и перевод песни Alberto Rojo - La Tempranera

La Tempranera

Eras la tempranera,
Niña primera, amanecida flor
Suave rosa, galana,
La más bonita tucumana

Frente de adolescente,
Gentil milagro de tu trigueña piel
Negros ojos sinceros,
Paloma tibia de Monteros

Al bailar esta zamba fue
Que, rendido, te amé
Eras, mi tempranera
De mis arrestos prisionera
Mía yo te sabía
Cuando, por fin, te coroné

/Era la primavera
La pregonera del delicado amor
Lloro amargamente
Aquél romance adolescente/

Dura tristeza oscura,
Frágil amor que no supe retener
Oye, paloma mía,
Esta tristísima elegía...

Al bailar esta zamba fue
Que, rendido, te amé.
Eras, mi tempranera
De mis arrestos prisionera
Mía yo te sabía
Cuando, por fin, te coroné

The Early Bird Catches the Worm

You were the early bird who catches the worm,
First-born girl, a flower blooming at dawn
Soft, beautiful rose,
The prettiest Tucuman

A young girl's face,
A gentle miracle with wheat-colored skin
Sincere black eyes,
A gentle dove from Monteros

It was when we danced this zamba
That I surrendered and fell in love with you
You were my early bird who catches the worm,
A prisoner of my passions
I knew you were mine
When I finally crowned you

/It was springtime
The herald of delicate love
I weep bitterly
For that teenage romance/

A deep, dark sadness,
A fragile love that I could not hold on to
Listen, my love,
To this very sad elegy...

It was when we danced this zamba
That I surrendered and fell in love with you.
You were my early bird who catches the worm,
A prisoner of my passions
I knew you were mine
When I finally crowned you
