Evocación Santiagueña
Los Hermanos Toledo
Santiagueña Evocation
The early morning arrives
The forest wakes up, the thrush sings
And a choir of little birds
Sings my zamba next to the cactus
Morning songs of the homeland
Skies and clouds, Sun's celebration
Santiago del Estero
Beloved land of tradition
Far from my land I want to evoke
With all my emotion
My Santiago homeland
That I see like a dream
And the zamba takes away
With these verses my heart
In the scorching siestas
White sadness of the salt flats
Coolness of carob trees
Mate round under the tala tree
Nights of gatherings
Dawn of the Moon, love song
The Moon of the vidalera
Beats the drum of the heart
Far from my land I want to evoke
With all my emotion
My Santiago homeland
That I see like a dream
And the zamba takes away
With these verses my heart
