La Zarateña

The Zarateña

La Zarateña

Raise your handkerchiefs up high!¡Arriba los pañuelos!
My lady will dance a full turnVueltita entera dará, mi dueña
(Because this zamba is from my homeland(Que esta zamba es de mis pagos
My dear Zarateña!)Tierrita gaucha, mi zarateña!)

To the other side, my love!¡Al otro lao, viditay!
Black eyes like my sorrowsOjitos negros como mis penas
(Without looking at the ground(Que yo sin mirar el suelo
I follow your trail, my Zarateña!)Sigo tu rastro, mi zarateña!)

I have a poor little ponchoTengo ponchito 'i pobre
I have my ranch near the cliffsTengo mi rancho cerca de las peñas
(And I have a strong heart(Y tengo un corazón fuerte
To love you, my Zarateña!)Para quererte, mi zarateña!)

It's beautiful to sing at nightLindo es cantar de noche
When the full moon appearsCuando aparece la Luna llena
(And to hear under the willows(Y sentir bajo los sauces
The little music of the ditches!)La musiquita de las acequias!)

When I dance the zambaCuando bailo la zamba
The noise of my spurs fades awaySe apaga el ruido de mis espuelas
(And only the flight is felt(Y solo se siente el vuelo
Of your handkerchief, my Zarateña!)De tu pañuelo, mi zarateña!)
