El viejo río que va
The old river that flows
Cruzando el amanecer
Across the dawn
Como un gran camalotal
Like a great camalotal tree
Lleva la balsa en su loco va y ven
Carries the raft in its wild back-and-forth
Rumbo a la cosecha cosechero yo seré
Heading toward the harvest—I will be the harvester
Y entre copos blancos mi esperanza cantaré
And amid white cotton blossoms, I will sing of my hope
Con manos curtidas dejaré en el algodón mi corazón
With weathered hands, I will leave my heart in the cotton
La tierra del Chaco, quebrachera y montaraz
The land of the Chaco, wild and untamed
Prenderá mi sangre con un ronco sapucay
Will set my blood ablaze with a hoarse sapucay
Y será en el surco mi sombrero bajo el sol
And in the furrow, my hat under the sun
Faro de luz
Will be a beacon of light
Clgodón que se va, que se va, que se va
A thunderclap that fades, fades, fades
Plata blanda, mojada de luna y sudor
Soft silver, drenched in moonlight and sweat
Un ranchito borracho de sueños y amor
A little hut drunk on dreams and love
Quiero yo
That’s what I want
Clgodón que se va, que se va, que se va
A thunderclap that fades, fades, fades
Plata blanda, mojada de luna y sudor
Soft silver, drenched in moonlight and sweat
Y un ranchito borracho de sueños y amor
And a little hut drunk on dreams and love
Quiero yo
That’s what I want
Sombras negras en la costa, rojo en el horizonte
Black shadows on the shore, red on the horizon
Plomo en el río quieto, que va atravesando el monte
Lead in the still river, which winds through the forest
El alba pesa en el cuerpo del cosechero dormido
Dawn weighs heavy on the sleeping harvester’s body
Y el algodón de sus sueños le va tejiendo el destino
And the cotton of his dreams weaves his destiny
De Corrientes vengo yo
I come from Corrientes
Barranqueras ya se ve
Barranqueras is already in sight
Y en la costa un acordeón
And on the shore, an accordion
Gimiendo va su lento llamamé
Moans out its slow call
Rumbo a la cosecha, cosechero yo seré
Heading for the harvest—I’ll be a harvester
Y entre copos blancos mi esperanza cantaré
And amid white cotton blossoms, I will sing of my hope
Con manos curtidas dejaré en el algodón mi corazón
With weathered hands, I will leave my heart in the cotton
La tierra del Chaco, quebrachera y montaraz
The land of the Chaco, wild and untamed
Prenderá mi sangre con un ronco sapucay
Will set my blood ablaze with a hoarse sapucay
Y será en el surco mi sombrero bajo el sol
And in the furrow, my hat under the sun
Faro de luz
Will be a beacon of light
Clgodón que se va, que se va, que se va
A thunderclap that fades, fades, fades
Plata blanda, mojada de luna y sudor
Soft silver, drenched in moonlight and sweat
Y un ranchito borracho de sueños y amor
And a little hut drunk on dreams and love
Quiero yo, quiero yo
I want to, I want to
Clgodón que se va, que se va, que se va
A thunderclap that fades, fades, fades
Plata blanda, mojada de luna y sudor
Soft silver, drenched in moonlight and sweat
Y un ranchito borracho de sueños y amor
And a little hut drunk on dreams and love
Quiero yo, quiero yo
I want to, I want to
Quiero yo
That’s what I want
