La Overa

The Overa

La Overa

Late afternoon, I’m wanderingCkayna tarde llojserani
On my fine little horseSuj caballitu bellacup
Dad’s saddles are readyTata ensillas taanacus
A post of the ñandubayUn poste de ñandubay

Close to midnightCerca de la medianoche
A little tipsy, I’m feeling goodUmay lásaj, borrachito
When I passed by your houseCuando pase por tu casa
I was singing overitoIba cantando overito

Shaking it, I heard the ‘rispaAgitascka, huajtas ‘rispa
Echoing in the lagoonEscuchaba en la laguna
And on my horse’s backY en ancas de mi caballo
I was carrying the moonIba llevando la luna

And when I got to SalavinaY al llegar a Salavina
We danced the chacareraBailamos la chacarera
And we sang the castillaY cantábamos la castilla
Mixed in with The OveraMezcladita con La Overa

In the distance, I can seeA lo lejos se divisa
A little house in the jumialesUn ranchito en los jumiales
And a white little flockY una blanca majadita
Crossing the salt flatsCruzando los salitrales

Going down a little pathYendo por un caminito
I’m bringing the goats alongAshca cabras tarerani
A little bell hangingUn cencerro colgadito
Chacarera’s ringing outChacarera uyarerani

With my fine horseCon mi caballo bellaco
I galloped throughAl galope recorrí
Blanca Pozo, Rubia PasoBlanca Pozo, Rubia Paso
