Mañana Me Voy P'al Norte

Tomorrow I'm going north,
to sing to the northerners.
I have my trick ready, (1)
my drum and my cymbal.

A corner(2) in the pampas,
I will offer it to the saltpeter.(3)
With buds (4) of loves,
gift of the southerners.

We will decorate the table,
with tamarugo flowers.(5)
Nuanced with copihues, (6)
from Copihual of Temuco.

And when I started the dance,
Let all the quenas cry.
Indian drum beats,
to the sound of all his sorrow.
