Santiago Sundays
A Sunday in Santiago
It's not just any Sunday
even the sun comes rising
with chacarera rhythm.
Everyone has their happiness
with empanada and wine dance
walking in the saltpeter
If hotter it is prettier.
And up on the coast
grills are seen smoking
It's time for the skull
the fire is putting out.
Sundays in Santiago
God willing they don't get lost
from here I send you a sigh
to my land of Santiago.
Longings for The Band
achalitay what a beauty
"Apalo" with his brothers
prepare composure.
What a beautiful night I spent
thinking I was coming back
to stuff myself with pumpkin
fresh prickly pear and watermelon.
They ate all night
wine and vizcacha cake
and now they walk steadily
hiding the stain.
On Santiago Sundays...
