Letra del Milonga Por la huella (Por la güeya)

Por la huella solitaria
Mi carreta y mi canción,
Y en el cielo nubes blancas
Como copos de algodón.
Vendrá la luz azul
Del amanecer,
Y buscaré tu amor
Sin saber por qué.
Y entrará a llover
Y andaremos,
Bajo el agua
La carreta y un querer.

Dónde irás mi Sol
Dónde irás Lunar,
Sin cargar dolor
Sin llevar pesar.
Sin tu mala estrella
Sin tu padecer,
Sin pensar en ella
Que llegó y se fue…
Dónde irás. Me voy
Para ser feliz,
Si al llegar nomás
Tendrás que partir.

English lyrics of the Milonga "Por la huella (Por la güeya)"

Along the solitary trail
My cart and my song,
And in the sky white clouds
Like tufts of cotton.
The blue light will come
At dawn,
And I will seek your love
Without knowing why.
And it will start to rain
And we will walk,
Under the water
The cart and a love.

Where will you go, my Sun
Where will you go, my Moon,
Without carrying pain
Without bearing sorrow.
Without your bad star
Without your suffering,
Without thinking of her
Who came and left…
Where will you go. I go
To be happy,
If upon arriving
You have to leave.
