Play Me a Chacarera

Tocamelo Una Chacarera

Why do you ask me for a zamba if you don't know how to dance themPara que me pides una zamba si no las sabes bailar
Ask me for a chacarera, that's where you'll learnPedime una chacarera ahí si que te va a enseñar
There's only one little spot left for me under the carob treeAhí me queda un solo lugarcito de bajo el algarrobal
To see how the rooster sings if someone wants to crowPara ver como canta el gallo si alguien quiere cacarear
Since the patio has just been watered, they won't want to tap their feetComo el patio esta recién regao no va querer zapatear
But they'll still cover the ranch with the dirt they'll leavePero igual va a tapar el rancho del tierral que va a dejar

How the coyuyos singComo cantan los coyuyos
That's how I want to singAsí quiero cantar yo
How they dance over there in SantiagoComo bailan allá en santiago
I am from SumampaDe sumampa soy señor

Why do you ask me for a zamba in that minor tonePara que me pides una zamba en ese tono menor
Ask me for a trench chacarera in C majorPedimelo una chacarera de trinchera en do mayor
Just take off your shoes and start dancingHay nomás sácate las sullutas y comenzá a mudancear
Teach them how to dance in the lands of SalaoEnseñale como se baila por los pagos del salao
And why do you ask me to tell you if I've been around my hometownY por que me pides que te cuente si por mi pago he andao
I'm a true santiagueño drummer and I was raised in LoretoSoy bombisto bien santiagueño y en Loreto me he criao

How the coyuyos singComo cantan los coyuyos
That's how I want to singasí quiero cantar yo
How they dance over there in SantiagoComo bailan allá en Santiago
I am from SumampaDe Sumampa soy señor
