La Chimpa Machu

When I want, I want a lot
if they forget me, I don't complain
when they want to leave me
before they leave me, I leave.

The heart of a girl
they say I have it
I don't know what it's good for
the heart without the body.

In the game and love
two things I have learned
do not boast if I have won
or shrink if I have lost.

Chacarera, chacarera
chacarera chimpa machu
to reach your heart
if not today, tomorrow.

The sorrow and what is not sorrow
everything is sorrow to me
yesterday I suffered to see you
today I suffer because I saw you.

You are one, I am one
one and one make two
two who would like to be one
but God doesn't want it.

Love is uphill
and forgetting is downhill
I will climb uphill
even if it's hard work.

Mayu mayu chimpa manta
chacarera flower of tusca
you say you don't love me
I don't know why you seek me.
