The Algarrobera (Chacarera)

Marcelo Toledo

La Algarrobera (Chacarera)

Por el monte de Santiago
En medio e' los algarrobales
Yo encontre esta chacarera
Pal' tiempo e' los carnavales

Le llaman La Algarrobera
Vaya saber las razones
Yo digo que es por la aloja
Que alegra los corazones

Se acostumbra allá en mi pago
En medio e' los carnavales
Vidalear hasta que aclare
Pucha que lindos cantares

En las fiestas Santiagueñas
Se baila esta chacarera
Con fuelle, guitarra y bombo
Le llaman La Algarrobera

Bailando esta chacarera
Comentaba una viejita
Me estoy machando comadre
Con esta aloja fresquita

Otro viejo en upianita
Bailando mal barajao'
Renegaba despacito
Que fiero que e' zapateo'

Algarroba blanca y negra
Llena de miel y dulzura
Aloja en los rezabailes
Buena pa' la compostura

En las fiestas Santiagueñas
Se baila esta chacarera
Con fuelle, guitarra y bombo
Le llaman La Algarrobera

The Algarrobera (Chacarera)

Through the mount of Santiago
In the middle of the carob trees
I found this chacarera
For the time is carnival

They call it La Algarrobera
Let's know the reasons
I say it's because of the accommodation
That gladdens the hearts

It is customary there in my area
In the middle of the carnivals
Live until it clears up
Wow, what beautiful songs!

At the Santiago festivities
This chacarera is danced
With bellows, guitar and bass drum
They call it La Algarrobera

Dancing this chacarera
An old lady was commenting
I'm going crazy, my friend
With this cool accommodation

Another old man in upianita
Dancing badly shuffled'
He was slowly denying
How fierce is that tap dancing?

White and black carob
Full of honey and sweetness
Stay in the prayer rooms
Good for composure

At the Santiago festivities
This chacarera is danced
With bellows, guitar and bass drum
They call it La Algarrobera
