Unitaria (Unitarian)

VALS
Music: Enrique Maciel
Lyrics: Arsenio Mármol
Recorded by Alberto Castillo accompanied by Enrique Alessio in 1946

Unitaria del moño celeste
Que del cielo copió tu color,
La guitarra de todos los barrios
Despertaban trigales de amor.

Unitaria del blanco vestido
Del vestido color de jazmín,
Bajo el cielo feliz de Barracas
Las auroras le oyeron decir:

General Don Juan Lavalle,
Cuando vengan tus tenientes,
Yo luciré como nunca
Mi vincha color celeste.

Para lucirla en el pecho
Del hombre que quiero yo,
Porque he de darle mi nombre
Junto con mi corazón.

(Instrumental)

Unitarian* of the sky-blue ribbon—
You who copied your hue from the heavens—
The guitar of every neighborhood
Awakened fields of golden love.

Unitarian of the white dress—
Of the dress the color of jasmine—
Beneath the joyful skies of Barracas,
The dawn heard her softly say:

"General Don Juan Lavalle,
When your lieutenants arrive,
I shall wear—as never before—
My sky-blue headband.

To pin it upon the breast
Of the man I hold dear,
For I am destined to give him my name,
Along with my heart."

(Instrumental)
