Letra del Tango La morocha

Yo soy la morocha,
la más agraciada,
la más renombrada
de esta población.
Soy la que al paisano
muy de madrugada
brinda un cimarrón.

Yo, con dulce acento,
junto a mi ranchito,
canto un estilito
con tierna pasión,
mientras que mi dueño
sale al trotecito
en su redomón.

Soy la morocha argentina,
la que no siente pesares
y alegre pasa la vida
con sus cantares.
Soy la gentil compañera
del noble gaucho porteño,
la que conserva el cariño
para su dueño.

Yo soy la morocha
de mirar ardiente,
la que en su alma siente
el fuego de amor.
Soy la que al criollito
más noble y valiente
ama con ardor.

En mi amado rancho,
bajo la enramada,
en noche plateada,
con dulce emoción,
le canto al pampero,
a mi patria amada
y a mi fiel amor.

Soy la morocha argentina,
la que no siente pesares
y alegre pasa la vida
con sus cantares.
Soy la gentil compañera
del noble gaucho porteño,
la que conserva el cariño
para su dueño.

English lyrics of the Tango "La morocha"

I am the brunette,
the most graceful,
the most renowned
in this town.
I’m the one who to the countryman
very early in the morning
offers a strong coffee.

I, with sweet accent,
next to my little ranch,
sing a little style
with tender passion,
while my owner
leaves at a gentle trot
on his bay horse.

I’m the Argentine brunette,
the one who feels no sorrows
and cheerful goes through life
with her songs.
I am the gentle companion
of the noble gaucho from Buenos Aires,
the one who keeps her affection
for her owner.

I am the brunette
with a burning gaze,
the one who in her soul feels
the fire of love.
I’m the one who loves
the most noble and brave country boy
with passion.

In my beloved ranch,
under the foliage,
on a moonlit night,
with sweet emotion,
I sing to the pampero,
to my beloved homeland
and to my true love.

I’m the Argentine brunette,
the one who feels no sorrows
and cheerful goes through life
with her songs.
I am the gentle companion
of the noble gaucho from Buenos Aires,
the one who keeps her affection
for her owner.
