Cafayate

What elf will come to tempt me?¿Qué duende vendrá a tentarme?
With folk songs, flour, and songDe copla, harina y canción
CarnivalCarnaval
Take me to CafayateLlévame hasta Cafayate
And let the wine untieY que el vino me desate
The sorrows of the heartLas penas del corazón

And the poplar dressed (the poplar dressed)Y vestida la alameda (vestida la alameda)
With a poncho of blue skyCon poncho de cielo azul
Woke up the cricket from its choresDespertó al grillo de las labores
And weaving the colorsY urdiéndose los colores
Painted the valley with its lightPintó el valle con su luz

Let the elf look for meQue me busque el duende
When the carnival endsCuando acabe el carnaval
Medanal (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)Medanal (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Cover me with your sandsTapame con tus arenas
Let the devil take away the sorrowsSe lleve el diablo las penas
And not be able to find meY a mí no me pueda hallar

What might the elf be wanting?¿Qué cosa andará queriendo?
The elf of illusionEl duende de la ilusión
ArenalArenal
If the wind erased my traceSi el viento borró mi huella
Let it hang from one of the starsQue cuelgue de alguna de estrella
The dream of this singerEl sueño de este cantor

And I have no shortage of reasons (and I have no shortage of reasons)Y no me faltan razones (y no me faltan razones)
To let myself be temptedPara dejarme tentar
In the endAl final
What is worth more than my song?¿Qué vale más que mi canto?
There's no sorrow that can cover the tearsNo hay pena que tape el llanto
Of not being able to sing to youDe no poderte cantar

Let the elf look for meQue me busque el duende
When the carnival endsCuando acabe el carnaval
Medanal (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)Medanal (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Cover me with your sandsTapame con tus arenas
Let the devil take away the sorrowsSe lleve el diablo las penas
And not be able to find meY a mí no me pueda hallar
