Chacarera Del Pantano

Swamp Chacarera

Chacarera Del Pantano

Through the cane hillPor el cerro de las cañas
A countryman was singingIba cantando un paisano
Slowly and uphillDespacito y cuesta arriba
And towards the swampY en dirección del pantano
When he reached the pathCuando dio con el carril
He spotted a little lightDivisó una lucecita

The tavern is celebratingEstá de fiesta el boliche
They call it La SerranitaQue llaman La Serranita
Nice to see tied wagonsLindo es ver fletes atados
With the tarpaulinCon la lonja palenquera
And to hear a guitarY sentir una guitarra
Playing the chacareraTocando la chacarera

Chacarera of the swampChacarera del pantano
That awakens a longing in meQue me despierta un querer
The countrymen stompingLos paisanos zapateando
My horse without eatingMi caballo sin comer
A gaucho looked at the fieldUn criollo miraba al campo
Asking the sky for rainPidiendo al cielo que llueva

And he stays observingY se queda mosqueteando
Like a vizcacha in the burrowComo vizcacha en la cueva
Serve wine, Mrs. RochaSirva vino doña Rocha
Serve another round, patronessSirva otra vuelta patrona
You can already smellYa se siente el olorcito
The scent

Of the goat barbecueDel asau de cabrillona
Serve wine, Mrs. RochaSirva vino doña Rocha
Don't try to charge me for itNo me lo quiera cobrar
With cats and chacarerasCon gatos y chacareras
I'll know how to pay you backSe lo hei saber pagar

Chacarera of the swampChacarera del pantano
That awakens a longing in meQue me despierta un querer
The countrymen stompingLos paisanos zapateando
My horse without eatingMi caballo sin comer
