Chacarera del Sufrido
Raly Barrionuevo
Chacarera of the Suffering One
Wherever I go
Bad luck comes close
For me there are no roses
For me everything is thorns
Why say yes
If the sonkoy says no
Why ask the river
For the water that passed
To Tata God I ask
To come down to Salavina
To show me which is
The path of my life
Many nights I have spent
Looking for this chacarera
How many nights will I spend
Looking for a partner
Dancing this chacarera
It feels like I'm celebrating
It's like a little moonbeam
In a stormy night
Don't pity me
Even if my soul is suffering
I'm like the Kakuy
Wandering through life
I resemble the quebracho
I'm strong like its fibers
That turn into stone
When time punishes it
