Chaupi Corazón
Luciano Pereyra
Half Heart
Half, half,
half, half heart.
Half, half,
half, half heart.
When I grab the guitar
to kill my sorrows,
this rhythm blooms inside my chest
to bring joy.
A drum accompanies the young man,
Bandoneon and some violin.
I will sing until a friend
comes to continue the party.
Half, half,
half, half heart.
Half, half,
half, half heart.
We will form a circle
for the dance that will come
and I will play the lover
to conquer a girl.
In Santiago del Estero
I am the lord of the chacarera,
leaving my whole land
half, half the heart.
Half, half,
half, half heart.
Half, half,
half, half heart.
Even the moon rejoices
when it sees me tap dancing
and can't resist joining in
with a star to dance.
Salamanca, don't take me away
let me stay a little longer
so I can finish my song
and then I will leave with you.
Half, half,
half, half heart.
Half, half,
half, half heart.
The chañar tree is angry
and the willow started to cry
because they know that this simple
will soon come to an end.
