Alma de Rezabaile

Soul of the Dance Party

Alma de Rezabaile

The dance has already started out in Santiago del EsteroEl baile ya ha comenzado allá por Santiago del Estero
The jungle echoes with the beat of a bombo legüeroRetumba toda la selva el repicar de un bombo legüero

Partying all night under the sweet glow of the starsDe fiesta toda la noche al dulce brillo de las estrellas
Telesita danced, she was the dance, she was the queenBailaba la Telesita que era la danza, que era la reina

Hot Santiago nights, pure silver nightsNochecitas santiagueñas ardientes, puras noches de plata
The Moon spills its bright light over the hillsLa Luna sobre del monte en luz brillante se desparrama

Let Telesita dance, sweet and fragrant like flowersQue baile la Telesita dulce y fragante como las flores
The locals shouted, drunk on loveGritaba la paisanada emborrachada de amores

What is the poor girl searching for, maybe the dance will bring her comfortQue busca la pobrecita tal vez la danza le dé un consuelo
Your swirling skirt, your bare feet, a spinning fireTu pollera remolino tus pies descalzos, trompo de fuego

Telesita, Telesita, you've become rain, you've become MoonTelesita, Telesita te has vuelto lluvia, te has vuelto Luna
You've become a flower in the fields, you've become a breeze that perfumes meTe has vuelto flor de los campos te has vuelto brisa que me perfuma

Many years have passed, but your people never forget youHan pasado muchos años pero tu pueblo nunca te olvida
Dancing in the dance parties so your soul stays aliveBailando en los rezabailes para que tu alma siga encendida

Let Telesita dance, sweet and fragrant like flowersQue baile la Telesita dulce y fragante como las flores
The locals shouted, drunk on loveGritaba la paisanada emborrachada de amores
