Chacarera Por La Vida
Los Manseros Santiagueños
Chacarera For Life
Oh, life so beautiful despite the pain and adversity
Despite jealous old death, there's nothing better
Don't bend or break as long as you breathe and the sun rises
Life, I want in these verses, if I've offended you, ask for forgiveness
And oh... Mother Earth, I bless your generosity
Because you nurture life and one day I'll shelter in your womb
For those who haven't come to the magical valley of the creator
Let's not leave them the rubble of disloyal men
Let's not throw our children into a desert of sand and salt
Life is a miracle, no one doubts it, especially me who sprouted in a poetic, musical, and dancing ground
Who loves, suffers, enjoys, and dreams in chacarera, how happy
The glory of being born, having life, being able to sing
Having loved, drinking the wine of friendship
It seems to me that there's no way to thank and repay
We are the torrent, brother, and the channel of a river of eternity
That spills into the serene, blue, and wide sea
The homeland of the stars where souls live in peace
I invite you to life and the great mystery of creation
It gives us rain, lends us the earth, and lights up the sun
So that we both can create a world open to love, my love
Life is a miracle, no one doubts it, especially me who sprouted in a poetic, musical, and dancing ground
Who loves, suffers, enjoys, and dreams in chacarera, how happy
