La Tucumanita

The Tucumanita

La Tucumanita

To dance the zambaPara bailar la zamba
very Tucumanan, very Tucumanan,bien tucumana, bien tucumana,
take a sip of wine,tomate un traguito 'e vino,
put on a chala, put on a chala.pitate un chala, pitate un chala.

The zamba from my landLa zamba de mi pago
has a secret, has a secret:tiene un secreto, tiene un secreto:
that the song comes out,que el canto sale pa' fuera,
but stays inside the chest.pero se queda dentro del pecho.

Acharay, my Tucumanan,¡Acharay, mi Tucumana,
the mouth like a gate,la boca como tranquera,
little arms of holy wood,bracitos de palo santo,
crooked shins, crooked shins!canillas chuecas, canillas chuecas!
Look, my little Tucumanita,¡Velay, mi tucumanita,
if it's just a joke, don't be offended!si es pura broma, no se ofienda!

To offer to my ladyPa' ofrecerle a mi dueña
I have a palacetengo un palacio
with a little piece of sky,con un catrecito 'i cielo,
a cloth blanket.cobija 'i trapo.

Green sugar cane fields,Verdes cañaverales,
blue skies, blue skies;cielos azules, cielos azules;
wow, how beautiful is my land¡pucha, qué lindo es mi pago
the Bomba of Lules!la Bomba 'i Lules!
