The Huanchaqueña

(Zamba)

In black velvet
I have two strips,
to mourn my chest,
if you forget me.

If you forget me, yes,
there's nothing to be done!
If I go to the fields,
I feel the loss of you.

I feel the loss of you, yes:
this is very true.
Nobody, with what they have,
lives content!

You have little eyes
and eyelashes
and a lying tongue
that deceives me.

That deceives me, yes:
pass by and don't step on.
I am the one who takes care
of the wallflowers.

The wallflowers, yes:
this is very true.
Nobody, with what they have,
lives content!
