Chacarera Del Chilalo
Los Manseros Santiagueños
Chilalo's Chacarera
The mountain, how beautiful it is!
How much honey from the stick!
Under the scribbles
lechiguana and chilalos.
Aromas of flowering tusca
perfume the trail
and the mistol coloring
is decorating the earth.
The prickly pears and piquillín
are already ripening
and above the fences
the dolcas are hanging.
The cardón is offering
its white and pure flower
while the ulúa
is already opening when ripe.
Among the viscacheral
and pampa taquellus
quiscaloros bloom
tuscas and sisaquellus.
The sachayoj makes itself heard
caring for the mountains
salamancas awaken
among the locontes.
The tum-tum intermingle
of legüero drums
of axes, of malambos
and of criollo mortars.
The mountain, how beautiful it is!
How much honey from the stick!
Under the scribbles
lechiguana and chilalos
