Quimey Neuquen

Flower of the sandbanksFlor de los arenales
Watered in the blood of the brave SayhuequeRegada en sangre del bravo Sayhueque
Scream that is coming backGrito que está volviendo
On your unbridled Pehuenche coltEn tu desbocado potro pehuenche

From the sky in the night waveDel cielo en la onda noche
The serenade is heard from the windSe oye del viento la serenata
Tupos the Moon lights upTupos la Luna prende
In the black cimba of my araucanaEn la negra cimba de mi araucana

Waters that go, want to returnAguas que van, quieren volver
Waters that go, want to returnAguas que van, quieren volver
Upstream in the learned songRío arriba en el canto aprendido
Neuquén Quimey, Quimey NeuquénNeuquén Quimey, Quimey Neuquén

The silence is already ripeningYa madura el silencio
Through the wild belly of your wallsPor el agreste vientre de tus bardas
Rayén wants to fall asleepQuiere Rayén dormirse
Your insides trembleTiemblan tus entrañas
In loveEnamoradas

Here I am in my NeuquénAquí estoy en mi Neuquén
Tree-man seedingHombre-árbol semillando
With the strength of the pehuénCon la fuerza del pehuén
And the sweetness of the apple treesY el dulzor de los manzanos

The mountain range looked at meMe miró la cordillera
With the eyes of its lakesCon los ojos de sus lagos
And they gallop through my bloodY galopan por mi sangre
Their ancient spellsSus hechizos milenarios

The wind gave me its cryEl viento me dio su grito
The Limay its wild songEl Limay su agreste canto
The old machi QuillénLa vieja machi Quillén
The magic of its summersLa magia de sus veranos

Wind in the screamViento metido en el grito
It is stirring up the backwatersVa agitando los remansos
And my voice becomes splintersY se hace astillas mi voz
When you want to become a songCuando quiere hacerse canto

Haughty, bold, arrogantAltivo, audaz, arrogante
With my countryman lineageCon mi linaje paisano
I gained stature in my landCobré estatura en mi tierra
Nourishing me in her lapNutriéndome en su regazo

Pine nut, michay, strawberryPiñón, michay, frutilla
They gave me, they gave me Indian flavorMe dieron, me dieron sabor indiano
Pride of being from NeuquénOrgullo de ser neuquino
With the pulse of the Agrio RiverCon pulso del río Agrio

Waters that go, want to returnAguas que van, quieren volver
Waters that go, want to returnAguas que van, quieren volver
Upstream of the learned songRío arriba del canto aprendido
