Chakay Manta

(chacarera)

Deep inside the heart
Where life beats,
I feel like an itch;
You must be my dear love!

When I passed by your ranch,
Very close to dawn,
With aloja and a machete,
I heard a vidala being sung!

Last night, before falling asleep
Under a cloudy sky,
Thinking of your little eyes,
I saw the whole starry sky.

Chorus

Chakay manta, where I'm from,
This chacarera was brought to me,
To dance it sometime,
But not just any time...!

There's a trend in my land,
A very entertaining trend,
We make the old ladies dance
In the middle of meals...

There's a trend in my land,
Such a flattering trend,
When the old ladies dance
We dance the whole night...

There's one that is the most beautiful
Of the trends in my land,
Whoever wants to know it
Should live for a while in Santiago.

Chorus

Chakay manta, where I'm from,
This chacarera was brought to me,
To dance it sometime,
But not just any time...!
