Letra del Tango Nido gaucho

Luciendo su color de esperanza
viste el campo
su plumaje
y el viento hace vibrar sus cordajes
en los pastos
y en la flor.
Yo tengo mi ranchito en la loma
donde cantan
los zorzales…
Margaritas
y rosales
han brotado para ti,
porque un día será ese nido gaucho
de los dos.

Florecerán mis ilusiones
y se unirán los corazones.
Dime que sí,
que la noche pampera abrirá
y su rayo de luna pondrá
luz de amor en tus ojos.
No digas no,
que el dolor secará mi rosal
y en la cruz de mi rancho el zorzal
morirá por tu amor.

Mañana, cuando el sol se ilumine,
entre gotas de rocío
el llanto de este cariño mío
sobre el trébol pisarás.
Recuerda que por ti lo he vertido
y si sientes mi tormento,
golondrina,
cara al viento,
tus dos alas
abrirás…
Y de un solo vuelo mis tristezas
matarás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Nido gaucho"

Showing its hopeful color
the field wears
its plumage,
and the wind makes its strings vibrate
on the grasses
and in the bloom.
I have my little ranch on the hill
where the thrushes sing…
Daisies
and rosebushes
have bloomed for you,
for one day this gaucho nest
will be ours.

My dreams will blossom
and hearts will unite.
Tell me yes,
that the Pampas night will open
and the moonbeam will cast
the light of love in your eyes.
Do not say no,
for pain will wither my rosebush
and on my ranch’s cross, the thrush
will die for your love.

Tomorrow, when the sun lights up,
amid drops of dew
you’ll tread on the tears of my love
over the clover.
Remember that I shed them for you
and if you feel my torment,
swallow,
facing the wind,
you will open
your two wings…
And in a single flight, my sorrows
you will slay.
