Amalhaya

(Chacarera)

I wish I had
the luck of the hawk
that takes from a bullet
what they don't want to give him

I wish I had
the luck the rooster has
that turns around
and right away mounts the horse

The luck the rhea has
I would like to enjoy
having six or having seven
even if I have to hatch

Chacarera, chacarera
to dance the whole night
may the devil take together
the old storytellers

I wish I had
the virtue of the caburé
that is surrounded by little bugs
and he chooses what to eat

I wish I had
the virtue of the gualacate
I would dig a little hole
and I would reach your bed

The virtue of lampalagua
I would like it for myself
to look at you fixedly
and you can't leave
