La Tucumanita

To dance the zambaPara bailar la zamba
So Tucuman, so TucumanBien tucumana, bien tucumana
Have a little drink and some wineTomate un traguito y vino
Light up a smoke, light up a smokePitate un chala, pitate un chala
Have a little drink and some wineTomate un traguito y vino
Light up a smoke, light up a smokePitate un chala, pitate un chala

The zamba from my hometownLa zamba de mi pago
Holds a secret, holds a secretTiene un secreto, tiene un secreto
That the song goes out loudQue el canto sale pa fuera
But it stays deep in the chestPero se queda dentro del pecho
That the song goes out loudQue el canto sale pa fuera
But it stays deep in the chestPero se queda dentro del pecho

Oh my Tucuman girlAchalay mi tucumana
With a face like a gateLa jeta como tranquera
Little arms like palo santoBracitos de palo santo
Crooked legs, crooked legsCanillas chuecas, canillas chuecas
Come on my Tucuman girlPelay mi tucumanita
If it’s just a joke, don’t take offenseSi es pura broma, no se ofenda
