Levantando Tierra
Los Manseros Santiagueños
Raising Dust
Happy with my guitar I walk, looking for where I can bring joy
And strum the chacarera; drink wine and start singing
Telling stories we will walk all afternoon to party
Let's light up the dance, light up the fireworks, long live the homeland, I want to march
Born in Cara Pujio I am, destined to be a singer
Inheritance of a native and zapateador Santiago
Raising dust I will dance in the middle of the salitral courtyard
Spirit of the chacarera dance of the dusty ground
Preparing my box I will walk when carnival approaches
Memorizing vidalas that my grandfather used to hum
Happy is the one who cheers the heart when you hear a bandoneon
Playing chacareras notes in the afternoon, come out of the ditch
The drum of a Santiago ai' is when you hear it ringing
In the parties of my homeland oh Santiago you must not forget
Raising dust I will dance in the middle of the salitral courtyard
Spirit of the chacarera dance of the dusty ground
