Salta de Ayer

Jump from Yesterday

Salta de Ayer

Carnival woundHerida de carnaval
The soul pushes meEl alma me empuja
To the north, and in theAl norte, y en las
Spurs, Salta cries for meEspuelas me llora salta
Upon returning, and itAl regresar, y se me
Becomes a flour balladVuelve copla de harina
LonelinessLa soledad

The wind goes out to meetEl viento sale a topar
Workers of all kindsCarperos de toda laya
And the coca kills the sorrowsY el acullico mata las penas
While dancing, and evenAl bagualear, y hasta
The moon becomes a drum for theLa luna se vuelve caja pa´l
CarnivalCarnaval

Lovely basil perfumePerfume lindo de albhaca
The bagualeros burn the nightQueman la noche los bagualeros
And in a dawned bellowsy en un fuelle amanecido
The wing of my handkerchief looks for youTe busca el ala de mi pañuelo

How beautiful the samba getsVaya q se pone linda
WhenLa samba cuando
It sees me dancing with youContigo me ve bailar

There's a jump from yesterdayHay salta de ayer
Refuge of poetsRefugio de los poetas
And that castle thatY ese castilla q se
Falls in love just by being thereEnamora de solo estar
And even Don Sanca livesY hasta Don Sanca vivo
In the flowers of ilolayEn las flores del ilolay

Riding a chestnut coltMontando un potro Alazán
Like wading through a sorrowComo vadeando una pena
Through river stones crosses the shadowPor río piedras cruza la sombra
Of Baltasar and from withinDe baltasar y desde adentro
It rushes to the carnivalSe me desboca pal carnaval

Lovely basil perfumePerfume lindo de albhaca
The bagualeros burn the nightQueman La noche los bagualeros
And in a dawned bellowsY en un fuelle amanecido
The wing of my handkerchief looks for youTe busca el ala de mi pañuelo

How beautiful the samba getsVaya que se pone linda
WhenLa samba cuando
It sees me dancing with youContigo me ve bailar
