Payo Solá
Atahualpa Yupanqui
Payo Solá
(Zamba)
The North already has another name
That in the sand dunes will become legend
When in the valley nights
The memory of Payo Solá blossoms
When in the valley nights
The memory of Payo Solá blossoms
There in the stubble of Atocha
San Pedro, Ledesma, and El Arrayanal
The drums and guitars
Lost track of Payo Solá
The drums and guitars
Lost track of Payo Solá
For the summer they will find him
Just in time for Carnival
Surrounded by old tents
Crying in the bellows of Payo Solá
Surrounded by old tents
Crying in the bellows of Payo Solá
A March of winds and shadows
Took the hands of Payo Solá
He is mourned by the poor gauchos
The hardened runas of loneliness
He is mourned by the poor gauchos
The hardened runas of loneliness
The old roads of Salta
Those of Corralito, Cachí, Seclantás
There they go uphill
Tracking the dreams of Payo Solá
There they go uphill
Tracking the dreams of Payo Solá
For the summer they will find him
Just in time for Carnival
Surrounded by old tents
Crying in the bellows of Payo Solá
Surrounded by old tents
Crying in the bellows of Payo Solá
