Letra del Tango Canción de lluvia

El cielo azul se encapota de gris

Presagiando la lluvia que ansío,

Muere de sed, el maizal que sembré

Como se muere mi fe.



Llueve por fin y la tierra, feliz

Me dará otra vez sus trigales,

Veo llover y me siento feliz

Vuelve a nacer mi fe.



Vamos buey sobón

A buscar la aurora,

A buscar el sol

Y a la estar que adora.

A buscar las esperanzas

Que la lluvia nos alcanza,

Con la vista de un trigal mejor.

Vamos compañero

Que ya salió el sol.

English lyrics of the Tango "Canción de lluvia"

The sky tarnished from blue to gray

Foretells the rain I long for,

The cornfield I sowed is dying of thirst

Just as my faith dies.



At last, it rains and the happy earth

Will give me its wheat fields again,

I watch the rain and feel joy

My faith is reborn.



Let’s go, gentle ox

To seek the dawn,

To find the sun

And the star that is adored.

To find the hopes

That the rain brings us,

With the sight of a better wheat field.

Let’s go, companion

For the sun has risen.
