Cuando cante el gallo azul [English translation]

It was at Cañas where I found,

in a ranch between the range,

the tender young woman

I'm singing about.

It was a familiar party,

the birthday of the maiden,

better than a rose

was that florew.

The accordion was rippling

a light maxixa,

and I was feeling like,

of getting into the ball.

I said: May I?

and she said: as you please;

it's your birthday,

I cpuld find.

- You came from the city?,

- I came from Tacuarembó.

- Just for seeing me?

- Your humble servant.

- Will you leave here?

- When the blue rooster sings.

- Will you forget me there?

- May I never see the light.

But life drove me,

through unknown fields,

the oblivion came,

it took everything.

I camped at Cebollatí

and I slept near the border,

the brazilian woman

accompanied me.

Now I want to remember

the brown-eyed maiden,

in that ranch

of white and blue.

And bent near the bonfire,

neither her fire illuminates me,

I live in the dark,

I carry my cross.

- You came from the city?,

- I came from Tacuarembó.

- Just for seeing me?

- Your humble servant.

- Will you leave here?

- When the blue rooster sings.

- Will you forget me there?

- May I never see the light.
