Chango Changuito

I have a little monkeyYo tengo un chango changuito
Belly in the air dancingPancita al aire bailando
Barefoot playing in the sandDelscalzo juega en la arena
Dreaming with the starsCon las estrellas soñando

Offspring of a beloved timeRetoño de un tiempo amado
One that is never forgottenEse que nunca se olvida
When he calls me 'tatita'Cuando me dice tatita
'Patay' becomes my lifePatay se vuelve mi vida

'Patay' becomes my lifePatay se vuelve mi vida
And in my singing chestY en mi pecho cancionero
A flower of the air lights upSe enciende una flor del aire
More beautiful than the morning starMas hermosa que el lucero

I have a little monkeyYo tengo un chango changuito
Branch of this singing treeRama de este arbol coplero
His name is Martin AlbertoMartin alberto se llama
And one day he'll be a guitaristY algun dia ha'i ser guitarrero

My monkey is earth and songMi chango es tierra bumbuna
Guitar and song of the mountainGuitarra y canto del monte
Edge of fresh waterBrocal de aguita fresquita
Little violin of 'loconti'Violincito de loconti

Little violin of 'loconti'Violincito de loconti
That cheers my sorrowsEse que alegra mis penas
When the weeping of weepingCuando el llanto de llanto
Wets the lonely nightMoja la noche alojera

I like to see him playingMe gusta verlo jugando
With his stick horseCon su caballo de palo
Galloping long and stretchedGalope largo y tendido
Through the solitary courtyardPor el patio solitario
