Cerro Colorado
Atahualpa Yupanqui
Red Hill
I'm from the red hill
Where it doesn't rain
Where no one crosses the river
When it decides to rise
In rocks and pebbles
Big and small work
Hammering all day
So others become rich
A monkey passed by singing
And on a cargo cart
And the mule was saying
Damn, what a tough life
The fox brought me a chicken
And one afternoon I tracked it
I saw it wearing espadrilles
And they were size ten
I gave water to a scribbler
Who was about to dry up
And he paid me with flowers
That brighten my loneliness
I went to Taco Yaco
To buy a pacer
And I brought back a skinny bay
Petite and snorer
Chacarera, chacarera
From my red hill
To the lad who's dancing
I'm going to choose him as a brother-in-law
The fox brought me a chicken
And one afternoon I tracked it
I saw it wearing espadrilles
And they were size ten
