Niña Del Ñangapirí

Today I wandered through the woods
Of my innocent years
Pinching the sweetness
Red of Ñangapirí

And one November long ago
It pressed against my teeth
And bled a beautiful memory
From my childhood days

I was just a kid, still
A little headstrong boy
Who learned to steal from the woods
Its springtime sweetness

And that afternoon, among thrushes
I was a brave spirit
When I traded a handful
For a kiss, remember?

I left like the rivers
Flowing beneath life
You stayed in my Corrientes
And I never saw you again
Today as I return a boy-man
With a pained soul
I remember you, moved
Girl from Ñangapirí

And I hope a northern wind
One of those musical winds
That in the night of my town
Spreads serenades and joy
Carries far away, I don’t know where
And leaves at your window
This flower of my tenderness
That was born from remembering

I was just a kid, still
A little headstrong boy
Who learned to steal from the woods
Its springtime sweetness

And that afternoon, among thrushes
I was a brave spirit
When I traded a handful
For a kiss, remember?

I left like the rivers
Flowing beneath life
You stayed in my Corrientes
And I never saw you again

Today as I return a boy-man
With a pained soul
I remember you, moved
Girl from Ñangapirí
