Chamarrita de Rivera

You are the singing calandriaSos la calandria cantora
That brings in its versesQue trae en sus versos
Love songsCanciones de Amor

You are the glory of the northVos sos del norte la gloria
Sweetness and spellDulzura y hechizo
Woman and songMujer y cancion

The beautiful chamarritaLa chamarrita lindona
From over the hillsDe alla de la sierra
That brought its 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
Chamarrita de RiveraChamarrita de Rivera
That whistles in the wind in the canesQue silba en el viento en las cañas
And strolls along the borderY paseas por la frontera

Chamarrita, chamarritaChamarrita, chamarrita
You are lovely and affectionateVos sos linda y querendona
You are like a humble little flowerSos com humilde florcita
And a sigh of the accordionY suspiro de acordeona

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

Inheritance from the grandfatherHerencia del abuelo
Custom of a landCostumbre de un suelo
That will not dieQue no morirá
You were born there in Entre RiosNaciste allá en Entre rios
You walked your figurePaseaste tu estampa
Along the coastPor el litoral

You arrived in these lands of mineLlegaste a estos pagos míos
Trotting on the haunchesTrotando en las ancas
Of an old songDe un viejo cantar

That whistles in the wind in the canesQue silba en el viento en las cañas
And strolls along the borderY paseas por la frontera

You are lovely and affectionateVos sos linda y querendona
You are like a humble little flowerSos com humilde florcita
And a sigh of the accordionY suspiro de acordeona
