Si llega a ser tucumana
Los Chalchaleros
If She Turns Out to Be from Tucumán
If her waist is slender
and her mouth is red,
if her eyes are dark...
that girl is from Tucumán.
If she's sweet like that girl
and graceful when they dance her,
if she wins your heart...
that zamba is from Tucumán.
And if the girl and the zamba turn out to be from Tucumán,
drown yourself in holy water because not even the devil can save you.
If she's round and juicy
just like an orange,
if her hair is as dark as a closed night...
that girl is from Tucumán.
If she ties distances
in the shadows of her handkerchief,
if she comforts and deceives you...
that zamba is from Tucumán.
