The Tucuman Girl

La Tucumanita

To dance the zambaPara bailar la zamba
From Tucumán, from TucumánBien tucumana, bien tucumana
Have a little drink of wineTomate un traguito de vino
Roll a joint, roll a jointPitate un chala, pitate un chala

The zamba from my hometownLa zamba de mi pago
Has a secret, has a secretTiene un secreto, tiene un secreto
That the song goes out loudQue el canto sale pa' fuera
But it stays inside the chestPero se queda dentro del pecho

Oh my Tucuman girl¡Achalay, mi Tucumana
With a mouth like a gateLa boca como tranquera
Little arms of palo santoBracitos de palo santo
Crooked legs, crooked legs!Canillas chuecas, canillas chuecas!
Oh my little Tucuman girl¡Velay, mi tucumanita
If it’s just a joke, don’t take offense!Si es pura broma, no se ofienda!

To offer my ladyPa' ofrecerle a mi dueña
I have a palaceTengo un palacio
With a little bed of leatherCon un catrecito 'i tiento
And a blanket of clothCobija 'i trapo

Green sugarcane fieldsVerdes cañaverales
Blue skies, blue skiesCielos azules, cielos azules
Damn, how beautiful is my hometown¡Pucha, qué lindo es mi pago
La Bomba of Lules!La Bomba 'i Lules!
