Alma de Rezabaile
El baile ya ha comenzado allá por Santiago del Estero
Retumba toda la selva el repicar de un bombo legüero
De fiesta toda la noche al dulce brillo de las estrellas
Bailaba la Telesita que era la danza, que era la reina
Nochecitas santiagueñas ardientes, puras noches de plata
La Luna sobre del monte en luz brillante se desparrama
Que baile la Telesita dulce y fragante como las flores
Gritaba la paisanada emborrachada de amores
Que busca la pobrecita tal vez la danza le dé un consuelo
Tu pollera remolino tus pies descalzos, trompo de fuego
Telesita, Telesita te has vuelto lluvia, te has vuelto Luna
Te has vuelto flor de los campos te has vuelto brisa que me perfuma
Han pasado muchos años pero tu pueblo nunca te olvida
Bailando en los rezabailes para que tu alma siga encendida
Que baile la Telesita dulce y fragante como las flores
Gritaba la paisanada emborrachada de amores
Soul of the Dance Party
The dance has already started out in Santiago del Estero
The jungle echoes with the beat of a bombo legüero
Partying all night under the sweet glow of the stars
Telesita danced, she was the dance, she was the queen
Hot Santiago nights, pure silver nights
The Moon spills its bright light over the hills
Let Telesita dance, sweet and fragrant like flowers
The locals shouted, drunk on love
What is the poor girl searching for, maybe the dance will bring her comfort
Your swirling skirt, your bare feet, a spinning fire
Telesita, Telesita, you've become rain, you've become Moon
You've become a flower in the fields, you've become a breeze that perfumes me
Many years have passed, but your people never forget you
Dancing in the dance parties so your soul stays alive
Let Telesita dance, sweet and fragrant like flowers
The locals shouted, drunk on love
