La Ronquera

The Hoarseness

La Ronquera

From an Atamisqueño violinDe un violín atamisqueño
Hoarse from nights of singingRonco de noches copleras
I bring to memoryYo traigo para el recuerdo
This folk danceEsta chacarera

Guitar with hoarse voicesGuitarra de voces roncas
Accompanying me with bloodMe bordoneaban sangre
Gut strings buzzingCuerdas de tripas yapadas
And wire treblesY primas de alambre

She is the voice of rococoElla es la voz del rococo
Over the color of the sunsetSobre el color del poniente
Torrent of sweet waterTorrente del mishqui mayu
Voice of the risingVoz de la creciente

My hoarse folk danceMi chacarera ronquera
You will be my companyVos serás mi compañía
Because hoarse are the versesPorque roncas son las coplas
Of this sorrow of mineDe esta pena mía

And hoarse in the voice of the manY ronca en la voz del hombre
Who walks with his lost loveQue anda con su amor perdido
And his singing heartY su corazón que canta
Mutilated by wineMutila'o de vino

Very hoarse she gave me her mouthMuy ronca me dio su boca
Hoarse as she knows how to love meRonca como sabe amarme
Very hoarse she said to me at the same timeMuy ronca me dijo al tiempo
You will have to forget meTendrás que olvidarme

Hoarse is the voice of absenceRonca es la voz de la ausencia
Hoarse is the voice of comfortRonca es la voz del consuelo
Hoarse the goodbye that springsRonco el adiós que me brota
After your handkerchiefTras de tu pañuelo

My hoarse folk danceMi chacarera ronquera
You will be my companyVos serás mi compañía
Because hoarse are the versesPorque roncas son las coplas
Of this sorrow of mineDe esta pena mía
