Trotando viene la noche
Por negras huellas de sueño,
La luna, corre que corre
Fatiga los bueyes
Cansados y lerdos.

Con el borrón de su ausencia
Se está manchando el silencio,
Y están llorando las ruedas
Que van
Camino del Tucumán...

¡No hay que apurarse, barcino!
Vamos, despacio, nomás...
Total, andar es mi sino
Y el destino es una meta
Que yo tengo en la carreta...

No hay que apurarse, barcino
Que su percal ya no está...
Si ella se fue como vino,
Sombra triste en el camino
Que cortó mi soledad...

(Instrumental)

Blanca de muerte su cara
Estaba amarga de frío,
Se la llevaron al alba,
Cruzada en mi overo
Camino del día...

Yo me quedé con sus trenzas
Y ella llevó mi recuerdo,
Para que grite en las huellas
Que van
Camino del Tucumán...

English

Trotting the night comes
on black footsteps of dream,
The moon, running and running
exhausts the oxen
tired and slow.

With the stain of her absence
silence is getting stained,
And the wheels are crying
traveling
the road to Tucuman...

There is no rush, Barcino!
Let's go slow, nothing more...
After all, walking is my fate
And the fate is a destination
that I have in the wagon...

There is no rush, Barcino!
Her percale is no longer there...
She left as she came,
a sad shadow on the path
that cut short my loneliness...

(Instrumental)

White of death her face
was bitter from cold,
They took her away at dawn,
Crossed over my pinto colored horse
towards the day...

I kept her braids...
And she took my memories away...
to cry in the footsteps
that go
on the road to Tucuman...

Note: Percale is a cotton fabric that was commonly used for women's clothes
