Chacarera Del Violín

Violin Chacarera

Chacarera Del Violín

Violin playing in the distanceViolín que suena a lo lejos
To the tune of a chacareraAl son de una chacarera
With the wind it sounds sadCon el viento suena tristes
Like a lament of Kakuy TurayComo un lamento del Kakuy Turay
Ay, ay, ayAy, ay, ay

Where does that old man come fromDe donde viene ese viejo
He must be Zupay himselfHay ser el mismo Zupay
They say he went blindDicen que ha quedado ciego
From crying so much for TelesitaTanto llorarle a la Telesita
On the road to ManogastaCamino de Manogasta
From Sumampa and MailínDe Sumampa y de Mailín

They have seen him pass by cryingLo han visto pasar llorando
Poor blind man playing the violinPobre cieguito tocando el violín
Telesita is burningSe quema la Telesita
She is crying endlesslyLlorando está sin cesar
The poor thing is burningSe quema la pobrecita
The violin will always cry for herSiempre por ella el violín llorará
