Piel De Rancho

The fortune of my landLa fortuna de mi tierra
has a price and doesn't have ittiene precio y no lo tiene
its currency, only its singing.su moneda, solo su cantar.

The vidalas and soulful mulesLas vidalas y almas mulas
twisting give their mystery,tejiendo dan su misterio,
through the patches climbs the illusion.por los parches trepa la ilusión.

Perhaps it sings in its misfortuneTal vez canta en su desdicha
perhaps it sings in its hopetal vez canta en su esperanza
its throat, dream, and salt flat.su garganta, sueño y salitral.

The swift ones are waking upYa despiertan los legüeros
and the hills burst into a salamancay estallan los montes en salamanca
they have given birth to the chacareras.han parido las chacareras.

You are rain from the countrysideEres lluvia chacarera
ranch skin, sky and earthpiel de rancho, cielo y tierra
light that scents through the loneliness.luz que aromas por la soledad.

With the wings of an orpilaCon las alas de un orpila
tear apart your old skyrasgale tu cielo añoso
for your verses I will pour rivers.por tu coplas ríos vertiré.

Wild shout of the SaladoGrito arisco del Salado
flame of the Yalacollamarada del Yalaco
violinist they will sponsor you.violinisto te han de apadrinar.
