La Parecida
Los Manseros Santiagueños
The Resemblance
I come from burnt mountain
That I left for a favor
I stayed like ten days
What a beautiful payment it had been
I got involved with a girl
Thinking she loved me
But I had a disappointment
Because the ungrateful was lying
Back in my hometown they rejoice
When a guitar plays
The countrymen settle in
As they are looking for a party
Singing a chacarera
Beating the legüero drum
It feels like I'm at a party
In Santiago del Estero
Come closer to my sleepless nights
I keep waiting for you
Faithful and firm in my love
Don't deceive it
And if I have any sorrow
It's the mournful strings
But how cheerful they sound
When I sing to my good girl
When I sing some verses
To sing chacareras
A young man in love
Goes out to find a partner
Singing a chacarera
Beating the legüero drum
It feels like I'm at a party
In Santiago del Estero
