La Tameña

Yellow little buds
on a green
get ready
heart as we are
arriving in Tama.

Restless in the night
in that flatland
that brave love
of Victoria Romero.

Like a silent guard
from the Riojan montonera
tamarinds in Tama
line up in the square.

When you go through the plains
become friends with the wind
let it tell you the stories
that time has taken away.

To the girl from the tar in love
with the talas I want to leave
this zamba for Rosario from Tama.
