Chacarera Del Chacho

Don Peñaloza was born in La Rioja
From a young age, with his spear
He went to fight

Chacho, laralay lara!

The wild and fierce montonera
Made him a brave and wild leader

Chacho, laralay, lara!

Chacho had blue eyes
And a woman who fought by his side
At his level

Blood cry: his raised arm
Was the motto of
National rebellion

The square of Olta
Saw his head raised
On a military pike

Chacho, laralay lara!

And they buried him
Without care, next to his star
In that stony sky

Chacho, laralay, lara!

They say in Huaco that he appears
Bloody on the road
Of Loyalty

Those who killed him never understood
That his presence among the gauchos
Was immortal
