Chamarrita de Rivera

Rivera's Chamarrita

Chamarrita de Rivera

You're the singing larkSos la calandria cantora
Bringing love songsQue trae en sus versos
In your versesCanciones de Amor

You're the glory of the northVos sos del norte la gloria
Sweetness and charmDulzura y hechizo
Woman and songMujer y canción

The lovely chamarritaLa chamarrita lindona
From up in the hillsDe allá de la sierra
Who brought her voiceQue trajo su voz

With the taste of wildflowersCon gusto a flores camperas
Scent of the woodsPerfume de monte
Guitar and campfireGuitarra y fogón

Chamarrita, chamarritaChamarrita, chamarrita
Rivera's chamarritaChamarrita de Rivera
Whistling in the wind through the reedsQue silba en el viento en las cañas
And strolling by the borderY paseas por la frontera

Chamarrita, chamarritaChamarrita, chamarrita
You're beautiful and lovingVos sos linda y querendona
Like a humble little flowerSos como humilde florcita
And a sigh from the accordionY suspiro de acordeona

Verses of distant storiesVersos de historias lejanas
That bring back memoriesQue traen el recuerdo
And won't be forgottenY no se olvidaran

A faithful legacy from grandpaHerencia fiel del abuelo
Tradition of the landCostumbre de un suelo
That will never dieQue no morirá
You were born in Entre RíosNaciste allá en Entre ríos
Strolling your figurePaseaste tu estampa
Through the coastPor el litoral

You arrived in my landsLlegaste a estos pagos míos
Trotting on the backTrotando en las ancas
Of an old songDe un viejo cantar

Whistling in the wind through the reedsQue silba en el viento en las cañas
And strolling by the borderY paseas por la frontera

Like a humble little flowerSos como humilde florcita
And a sigh from the accordionY suspiro de acordeona
