Zamba Para Chilecito

Zamba For Chilecito

Zamba Para Chilecito

Smoke from green firewoodHumito de leña verde
the air becomes a tailcoleo se me hace el aire
I'm going on the road to ChilecitoCamino de chilecito me voy
my song flies away like a dovese va paloma mi copla
And the fire of whirlwindsY el fuego de remolinos
My song is filled with the scent of the sunMi canto se va aromando de sol

I'm already crossing PatquiaYa voy cruzando patquia
on the way to Los Coloradoscamino a los colorados
I'll greet Chacho's cavela cueva del chacho saludare
alone without a memorysolito sin un recuerdo
that tastes like moons of absenceque sabe a lunas de ausencia
and suns that I will always remembery a soles que siempre recordare

I carry a Famatina of light in my guitarUn famatina de luz llevo en mi guitarra
to enchant, my girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grapepara enamorar, mi niña de chilecito,ojitos de acequia y uva
little mouth of moon, sky, and orange blossomboquita de luna,cielo y azahar
my girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grapemi niña de chilecito,ojitos de acequia y uva
I have come to sing my zamba to youMi zamba yo te he venido a cantar

Close to Samay Huasicerquita de samay huasi
a bunch cut by the windcorte del viento un racimo
I'm degrading it in my soul for youlo voy degradando en el alma por vos
returning from Huatolvidovolviendo de huatolvido
little leaves brought by the riverhojitas que trae el rio
word of water, silence, and goodbyepalabra de agua ,silencio y adios

I want to return singingYo quiero volver cantando
colliding with the river and the windtopando al rio y al viento
and return to your sunny streetsy a tus calles soleaditas volver
stepping on the dry leavespisar las hojitas secas
under the walnut treesdebajo de los nogales
and light up my song in every vineyard.y en cada parra mi copla encender.
