Siete de Abril
Los Manseros Santiagueños
Seventh of April
Sad and with sorrows I go
I go singing my song
{Seeking comfort in a zamba
Because my heart has asked for it} repeat
Far away a voice is heard
And she says in her singing
{In those silent nights
I sing because it eases my sorrow} repeat
Chorus
Others will walk around
Just like me
{Singing sadly their sorrows
Zamba you are my song} repeat
Like the scent of a flower
Soft, rhythmic you are
{You have made many gauchos dance
Keeping the tradition alive} repeat
Your melodies perhaps
Have always been for me
{The one I have dreamed of many nights
And so I named it seventh of April} repeat
