Zamba Del Quebrachal

Zamba of the Quebrachal
are your weathered notes
from the salt flat
Santiago del Estero
never forget
those who leave

Algarrobal and mistol
cry of the coyuyos
that make my Santiago land
hard and northern
there's no other like it.

when the evening comes
you hear singing
whistles and sad songs
of the quebrachal
Santiago del Estero
like your land, there's no other like it
Santiago del Estero
never forget
those who leave..

Zamba from Santiago
everyone from my hometown
will sing to you
when your notes reach
the corners of the quebrachal.

Santiago of my love
I dedicate these
verses and this song
to my beautiful gaucho land
big and suffering
of my nation.
