To Sing Chamarritas
To sing chamarritas
you don't need to be a singer
you have to carry Entre Ríos
in every heartbeat your heart gives.
To sing chamarritas
more than having a good voice
you have to feel proud
of the glorious land that Pancho stepped on.
To sing chamarritas
if no one does it better
it's enough to sing it
with the hoarse voice of a fisherman.
Don't be afraid, buddy
and let your voice go to the wind
because under the Entre Ríos sky
there's no bird brother that isn't a singer.
To sing chamarritas
those with a lot of flavor
hit the cane with the heel
so that warmth rises to the throat.
To sing chamarritas
if the man is from another region
he has to love Entre Ríos
just like his land as a condition.
To sing chamarritas
you don't need sir
more than an old guitar
and the rhythm of the water against the boat.
