Del Chúcaro

The dawn breaks
Life goes with him
The dancer of the night
Don Santiago Ayala
The great dancer
The dancer of the night
Don Santiago Ayala
The great dancer

He carries a zamba in his soul
A malambo sleeps with him
And with a chacarera
Kisses at dawn
He has no wife
And with a chacarera
Kisses at dawn
He has no wife

Will the Chúcaro always
It was always wild and gray
That women don't last long
She spends them on dancing
Until they die
That women don't last long
She spends them on dancing
The great dancer

They left their moving
Carnations, roses, jasmine
That today they will fly around the world
Carrying the memory of the great dancer
And today they will fly around the world
Carrying the memory of the great dancer

It is not known if he has sung
But he likes to sing
And he has plenty of guitar
The Viola at his side
It is an immortal song
And he has plenty of guitar
The Viola at his side
It is an immortal song

Will the Chúcaro always
It was always wild and gray
That women don't last long
She spends them on dancing
Until they die
That women don't last long
She spends them on dancing
The great dancer
