Chayita Del Vidalero

Chayita of the vidalero
Named in the siesta
The wine and the sun
And a girl from La Rioja
The skirt stuck
With water and starch

Come on, homemade wine
Sweet and festive
Just inside
So that a chayero shout
Rises through the blood
Of a vidalero

The moon came down to the town
And entered through the long street
With a drum in her arms
And a love-struck song

The carnival of La Rioja
Smells of crushed carob
While inside the chest grows
The song of the vidala

The moon left a love song
In every window
And on Ash Wednesday
It went down the long street

Chayita of the vidalero
Leave me your song
I give you my voice
And this chayera box
Tempered in the fire
Of your ancient sound

Come on, homemade wine
Sweet and festive
Just inside
So that a chayero shout
Rises through the blood
Of a vidalero
