Barlovento
Isabel Parra
Headwind
Headwind, headwind,
Burning land and drum,
Land of the fulías and good black women,
Who celebrate
Their tight waist
And to the sound of the curve
And the taki-taki of the mine.
Delicious that moves the body
The woman from headwind when she walks,
How good it sounds the takiti-taki-taki
Over the mine.
Let the conunqueros come
For the dance of Saint John,
For the mine is tuned to play
The tikita-tikitá, tikita-kita-tikitá.
Let the conunqueros come
For the dance of Saint John,
For the mine is tuned to finish
The tikita-tikitá, tikita-kita-tikitá.
