Chacarera Del Sufrido
Los Hermanos Ábalos
Suffering Chacarera
Wherever I go, bad luck comes close
For me, there are no roses, only thorns
Why say yes? If the sonkoy tells me no
Why ask the river for the water that passed by?
I ask Tata Dios to come down to Salavina
To show me the path of my life
Many nights I've spent looking for this chacarera
How many nights will I spend looking for a partner?
Dancing this chacarera feels like a party
Like a moonbeam on stormy nights
Don't pity me! My soul is already suffering
I'm like the kakuy wandering through life
I'm like the quebracho tree, strong like its fibers
That turn into stone when time punishes it
Many nights I've spent looking for this chacarera
How many nights will I spend looking for a partner?
