Padre del carnaval
Vibra en tus parches vino salteño
la voz del carnaval
machao de tiempo voy a tu encuentro
necesito olvidar
machao de tiempo voy a tu encuentro
padre del carnaval.
Pucha que lindo si Omar el persa
por hai te hubiera hallao
que macha linda cuanta poesía
nos hubiera soltao
que macha linda si Omar el persa
por hai te hubiera hallao.
Vino hermano
si lo ves al Cuchi Leguizamón
pégale el grito vamos pal norte
quemando el corazón
alza tus pilchas vamos pal norte
Cuchi Leguizamón.
Cuentan las viejas que en Payogasta
y un poco más allá
el alma sola de Pajarito
de noche suele andar
el alma sola sin un traguito
pucha que frío hará.
Vino salteño, macho sin dueño
no me lo haguís llorar
pasale un trago yo te lo pago
si no le querís fiar
pasale un trago yo te lo pago
padre del carnaval.
Vino hermano
si lo ves al Cuchi Leguizamón
pégale el grito vamos pal norte
quemando el corazón
alza tus pilchas vamos pal norte
Cuchi Leguizamón.
Father of the Carnival
Vibrate in your drums, Salteño wine
the voice of the carnival
lost in time I go to meet you
I need to forget
lost in time I go to meet you
father of the carnival.
Wow, how beautiful if Omar the Persian
had found you there
what a beautiful march, how much poetry
he would have let loose on us
what a beautiful march if Omar the Persian
had found you there.
Brother wine
if you see Cuchi Leguizamón
shout let's go north
burning the heart
lift your clothes let's go north
Cuchi Leguizamón.
The old women say in Payogasta
and a little further
the lonely soul of Pajarito
often walks at night
the lonely soul without a sip
wow, how cold it must be.
Salteño wine, man without owner
don't make me cry
pass him a drink I'll pay for it
if you don't want to trust him
pass him a drink I'll pay for it
father of the carnival.
Brother wine
if you see Cuchi Leguizamón
shout let's go north
burning the heart
lift your clothes let's go north
Cuchi Leguizamón.
