Chacay Manta
Los Manseros Santiagueños
Chacay Manta
Deep inside the heart
where life beats
I feel a itch
you are my beloved
Passing by your ranch
very close to dawn
with a little aloja
I'll sing a vidala for you
Last night before falling asleep
under a cloudy sky
thinking of your little eyes
I saw the whole starry sky
Chacay Manta where I'm from
I brought this chacarera
to dance it sometime
but not just any time
There's a trend in my town
such a fun trend
we make the old ladies dance
in the middle of meals
There's a trend in my town
such a flattering trend
when the old ladies dance
we dance the whole night
There's one that is the prettiest
of the trends in my town
if you want to know it
live in Santiago for a while
Chacay Manta where I'm from...
