Nostalgias Santiagueñas

I pay where I was bornPago donde nací
It's the best loveEs la mejor querencia
And it reminds me moreY más me lo recuerda
Of my long absenceMi larga ausencia
Ay, ay, ay, yes, yes.Ay, ay, ay, si, si.

Santiago that I leftSantiago que dejé
With my beloved ranchCon mi rancho querido
Cradle of mistolesCuna de los mistoles
Charqui and quesilloCharqui y quesillo
Ay, ay, ay, yes, yes.Ay, ay, ay, si, si.

I will seek your mistol shadowTu sombra de mistol ei' buscar
When tired of walking so muchCuando ya cansao' de tanto andar
I return to my homelandVuelva de nuevo al pago
To my SantiagoA mi santiago
Ay, ay, ay, yes, yes.Ay, ay, ay, si, si.

A stranger who goesForastero que va
Always wants to staySiempre quiere quedarse
And from the beloved landY del suelo querido
They usually fall in loveSuele prendarse
Ay, ay, ay, yes, yesAy, ay, ay, si, si

If death comesSi la muerte hai' llegar
I will not die happyNo he de morir contento
Until a chala pipe soundsMientras no pite un chala
From my LoretoDe mi loreto
Ay, ay, ay, yes, yes.Ay, ay, ay, si, si.

I will seek your mistol shadow...Tu sombra de mistol ei' buscar...
