"Adios Pampa Mia"
Orquesta Francisco Canaro c. Alberto Arenas
Recorded on 1945-08-24
Music and Lyrics: Francisco Canaro, Mariano Mores, Ivo Pelay
Adiós, pampa mía
Me voy. Me voy a tierras extrañas.
Adiós, caminos que he recorrido
Ríos, montes y cañadas,
Tapera donde he nacido.
Si no volvemos a vernos
Tierra querida
Quiero que sepas,
Que al irme dejo la vida
¡Adiós!
Al dejarte, pampa mía
Ojos y alma se me llenan,
Con el verde de tus pastos
Y el temblor de las estrellas.
Con el canto de tus vientos
Y el sollozar de vihuelas
Que me alegraron a veces
Y otras me hicieron llorar.
¡Me voy, pampa mía!
¡Adiós!
Good bye, my pampas
I'm going. I'm going to foreign lands.
Goodbye, roads that I have traversed
Rivers, mountains and ravines,
Little hut where I was born.
If we do not see each other again
Beloved land
I want you to know,
Good bye!
When leaving you, my pampas
My eyes and soul are filled,
With the green of your pastures
And the trembling of the stars.
With the song of your winds
And the sobbing of guitars
That I was glad of sometimes
And other times made me cry.
I'm going, my pampas
Good bye!
In the region of the Argentine and Uruguayan plains, the abandoned and dilapidated houses that can be found in the countryside are called taperas.
In addition to the travelling lifestyle of the dwellers, the number of taperas is due to the fact that it is a region characterised by being so flat that it was not normal to detect the flood zones. A major rainy season forced the dwellers to leave the house that was left (sometimes metres) underwater for a few years until the new lagoon dried up.
The vihuela (Spanish pronunciation: [biˈwela]) is a guitar-shaped string instrument from 15th and 16th century Spain, Portugal and Italy, usually with five or six doubled strings.
