Zambita Pa' Don Rosendo

Zambita for Don Rosendo

Zambita Pa' Don Rosendo

The harvest has begunHan comenzao las cosechas
The workers go to the vineyardsLos changos a las viñas van
And there goes Rosendo in a cartY en un carro allá va Rosendo
Whipping his mare hardMeta chicote a su parda

They started from the majueloHan comenzao del majuelo
Then they will go to Las RosasLuego a Las Rosas se irán
They will continue to Vallejo's placeSeguirán por lo de Vallejo
At Fernandez's, a new vineyardEn lo de Fernández, viña nueva

Here comes Rosendo down the new streetAhí viene Rosendo por la calle nueva
Bringing in his cart the fruit of GodTrayendo en su carro el fruto de Dios
And in Don Pedro's cellarY en la bodega de Don Pedro
All that grape will turn into wineTodita esa uva vino se hará

In the vineyard and the cellarEn la viña y la bodega
The workers will singLos changos entonarán
This zambita that was bornEsta zambita que ha nacido
Among the vineyards of my AmingaMedio 'e las viñas de mi Aminga

They go along the furrows gatheringPor los surcos van juntando
Sweet grapes like honeyUvas dulces como miel
And in their little baskets of poleoY en sus cestitos de poleo
They go filling the cart at a trotA llenar el carro al tranco se van
