Letra del Zamba Cancion 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.

English lyrics of the Zamba Cancion "Caminito soleado"

Clear little native path
flowered and sunny,
with a bordered handkerchief
you saw me pass by.
While the friendly grasses
that know my longing,
like sweet comfort,
sent their green greeting
reaching out to me.

Crossing hills and valleys,
with wings came
my poor cart,
with its load of hopes
the wheels outwitted
the wind.
And when it already crossed
the depth of the slow current valley,
a nascent anguish
halted its impulse
stopping its walk,
because in that little stream
sometimes your eyes
are known to gaze.

And as soon as I saw her little house
out of pure jealousy
the pampero was excessive
to tell her gossipingly
that I bring in my saddlebag
a thousand tokens of love.
For her hair a ribbon
I carry hidden
of a pretty color.
For her lips my caprice,
and for her eyes
a clear crystal,
and for her white throat
the native who sings
has this song.

Clear little native path
flowered and sunny,
I want her to be amazed
when she names me
seeing me arrive.
