Zamba de Vargas

The people from La Rioja gather
at Vargas Well;
Varela leads them,
firm in battles.
Against the people from Santiago del Estero,
with great courage, they will fight;
and Don Manuel Taboada
raises his sword: it shines.

Varela attacks,
with great force:
slaughtering,
with sword and lance.
Cries are heard,
in the thunder of the charge
and the people from Santiago del Estero
under Taboada are losing ground.

"Brave people from Santiago del Estero
-said Taboada-
to win or die,
turn your face.
For our beloved land,
let's give our lives to triumph"
And right there, the old zamba
was ordered to play.

In the melee
this zamba arose,
bringing in its notes
vigor to the dawn.
And the people from Santiago del Estero achieved victory
and this song
for eternal memory,
Zamba de Vargas will always be.
