Zamba Para Chilecito

Smoke from green firewood
The air becomes minty
I'm going on the road to Chilecito
My song flies away like a dove And the fire of whirlwinds
My singing is scented by the Sun
My song flies away like a dove And the fire of whirlwinds
My singing is scented by the Sun
I'm crossing Patquia now
On the way to Los Colorados
I'll greet Chacho's cave
Alone without a memory that tastes like moons of absence
And suns that I'll always remember

A Famatina of light
I carry in my guitar to enchant
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grape
Little mouth of Moon, sky and orange blossom
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grape
My zamba I have come to sing to her
Close to Samay Huasi
I cut a bunch from the wind
I'm degrading it in my soul for you
Returning, I see your forgetfulness, little leaves brought by the river
Words of water, silence, and goodbye
I want to return singing
Bumping into the river and the wind
And return to your sunny streets
To step on the dry leaves under the walnut trees
And light up my song in every vine

A Famatina of light
I carry in my guitar to enchant
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grape
Little mouth of Moon, sky and orange blossom
My girl from Chilecito, eyes of irrigation ditch and grape
My zamba I have come to sing
