NOCHES CORRENTINAS

En una tarde de muerta primavera
Corrientes de mi ensueño, te vi por vez primera,
Y fueron dos ojazos con su mirar de fuego
Que a su mágico influjo me hicieron suspirar.
Y su mirada pura, de suave terciopelo
Embelleció la noche brillando cual lucero,
Perfumando la brisa y al cielo como un ruego
Del fondo de mi alma, entono este cantar:

Noches correntinas...
Gime el canto de un porteño,
Y el suspiro que entre sueños
Va evocando en su canción.
Noches correntinas...
De recuerdos cariñosos,
Por dos ojos muy hermosos
Suspiró mi corazón.

Fueron sus ojos brujos
Que al embargar mi vida,
La ataron para siempre
En ansias contenidas.
Y al despedirme de ellos
Mi linda correntina,
Como si fuera un niño
Me puse a sollozar.

¡Oh!, ¡Bella correntina!
¿Qué has hecho de mi alma?
¿Qué has hecho de mi vida
que ya no tengo calma?
Quisiste darme abrigo
Pero cual golondrina,
No pude detenerme
Para poderte amar.

CORRENTINA* NIGHTS

On a dull spring evening
I saw you for the first time, the correntina* of my dreams
And there were two big eyes with her fiery look
That made me sigh under her magical influence.
And her pure gaze, of soft velvet
Embellished the night shining like a star,
Scenting the breeze and the sky like a prayer
From the bottom of my soul, I sang this song:

Corrientes nights ...
Moans the song of a porteño,
And the sigh that will dreamily
Evoke in his song.
Corrientes nights ...
Of fond memories,
For two oh so beautiful eyes
My heart sighed.

They were captivating eyes
That seized my life,
And bound it forever
In curbed longings.
And on saying goodbye to them
My pretty correntina,
I began to sob,
Like a child.

Oh !, beautiful correntina!
What have you done to my soul?
What have you done to my life
That I no longer have any peace?
Did you want to give me shelter
But as a swallow,
I could not linger
To able to love you.

*correntina - a woman of Corrientes, an Argentine province
*porteño - a port-dweller, hence a person of Buenos Aires
