la uvera

The Grape

la uvera

This afternoon I’ll be singingKaina tarde yo serani
On a little horse, I’m ridingUn caballito uijsako
Dad’s saddled up the guanacoTata ensilla ata guanacu
A post made of ñandubaiUn poste de ñandubai

Close to midnightCerca de la medionoche
A good-natured tuneUmalasa bonachitu
When I passed by your houseCuando pasé por tu casa
I was singing a little grape songIba cantando uveritu

The echoes of the guajiraKajitajta guajtarispa
Could be heard by the lagoonSe escuchaba en la laguna
Sitting high on my horseEnancada en mi caballo
I was carrying the moonIba llevando la luna

When I got to SalavinaAl llegar a salavina
We danced the chacareraBailamos la chacarera
And we sang the castillaY cantábamos la castilla
Mixed in with "the grape"Mezcladita con “la uvera”

In the distance, I can seeA lo lejos se divisa
My little house in the jumialesMi ranchito en los jumiales
A white little hutUna blanca majadita
Crossing through the quebrachalesCruzando los quebrachales

Going down a little pathYendo por un caminito
Sacha goat, I’m feeling fineSacha cabra tererani
A little bell hangingUn cencerro colgadito
Chacareras we’ll danceChacareras bailarani

And on my horse, I’m ridingY en mi caballo uijsako
Galloping through the landAl galope recorrí
White well, blonde pathBlanca pozo, rubia paso
Colonia Dora, MailínColonia dora, mailín

When I got to SalavinaAl llegar a salavina
We danced the chacareraBailamos la chacarera
And we sang the castillaY cantábamos la castilla
Mixed in with "the grape"Mezcladita con “la uvera”
