Zamba Para Chilecito

Zamba For Chilecito

Zamba Para Chilecito

Smoke from green firewoodHumito de leña verde
The air becomes mintyPoleo se me hace el aire
I'm going on the road to ChilecitoCamino de Chilecito me voy
My song flies away like a dove And the fire of whirlwindsSe va paloma mi copla Y el fuego de remolinos
My singing is scented by the SunMi canto se va aromando de Sol
My song flies away like a dove And the fire of whirlwindsSe va paloma mi copla Y el fuego de remolinos
My singing is scented by the SunMi canto se va aromando de Sol
I'm crossing Patquia nowYa voy cruzando Patquia
On the way to Los ColoradosCamino a Los Colorados
I'll greet Chacho's caveLa cueva del Chacho saludaré
Alone without a memory that tastes like moons of absenceSolito sin un recuerdo que sabe a lunas de ausencia
And suns that I'll always rememberY a soles que siempre recordaré

A Famatina of lightUn Famatina de luz
I carry in my guitar to enchantLlevo en mi guitarra para enamorar
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grapeMi niña de Chilecito, ojitos de acequia y uva
Little mouth of Moon, sky and orange blossomBoquita de Luna, cielo y azahar
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grapeMi niña de Chilecito, ojitos de acequia y uva
My zamba I have come to sing to herMi zamba yo le he venido a cantar
Close to Samay HuasiCerquita de Samay Huasi
I cut a bunch from the windCorte del viento un racimo
I'm degrading it in my soul for youLo voy degradando en el alma por vos
Returning, I see your forgetfulness, little leaves brought by the riverVolviendo veo a tu olvido hojitas que trae el río
Words of water, silence, and goodbyePalabra de agua, silencio y adiós
I want to return singingYo quiero volver cantando
Bumping into the river and the windTopando al río y al viento
And return to your sunny streetsY a tus calles soleaditas volver
To step on the dry leaves under the walnut treesPisar las hojitas secas debajo de los nogales
And light up my song in every vineY en cada parra mi copla encender

A Famatina of lightUn Famatina de luz
I carry in my guitar to enchantLlevo en mi guitarra para enamorar
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grapeMi niña de Chilecito, ojitos de acequia y uva
Little mouth of Moon, sky and orange blossomBoquita de Luna, cielo y azahar
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grapeMi niña de Chilecito, ojitos de acequia y uva
My zamba I have come to singMi zamba yo le he venido a cantar
