Soy Santiagueño, Soy Chacarera

It was an infinite murmur
coming from beyond
it was the voice of a mother
filling the immensity

My heart became a child
to listen to the song
it was a traveler through time
it was of light and love
the earth with its heartbeat
plunged me into the universe

I am from Santiago, I am a Chacarera
like the singing coyuyo
born from the earth

The branch sways
that is in the carob grove
the golden pods fly
the tree turns into bread

childhood is being cradled
the singing is sweetening
with the sacred harmony
of the maternal song
the tree keeps the essence
of the initial movement

I am from Santiago, I am a Chacarera
like the singing coyuyo
born from the earth
