Kai Plazapi (Aquí en la plaza)
Chango Rodriguez
Kai Plazapi (Here in the square)
A memory of my hometown
When I was a little boy
Dancing barefoot
With lively malambos
When my dear old mom
Would scold me
She would pack in the saddlebag
The tamales and chalas
One early morning
We left my house
With the boys stomping
Around the corner of the square
When the guard came
And shouted kai plazapi
Amapuya ichumucita
Cacha chacha cuztiarani
Some sing for work
Others sing for their fame
I was born in the lowlands
They call me singing frog
Yearning and wanting
I want to marry you
I give you all I have
Let me be well for chipaco
I don't forget my hometown
The years that have passed
The boys in the square
From Santiago del Estero
When the guard came
And shouted kai plazapi
Amapuya ichumucita
Cacha chacha cuztiarani
