Chamarrita de una bailarina
SOLEDAD
Chamarrita of a Dancer
From a dance hall with an accordion, I tied the moon with the sun
for one night I wasn't a pawn, man I returned and that's where I am
and for just one party I hesitated with the boss
who told me, partygoer, don't step on my shed
From a dance hall with an accordion, I tied the moon with the sun
for one night I wasn't a pawn, man I returned and that's where I am
and he spoke to me about work obligations and the nation
to me who planted my poverty and my sweat in his field
From a dance hall with an accordion, I tied the moon with the sun
for one night I wasn't a pawn, man I returned and that's where I am
I looked at him half smiling and mounted my Redomón
plow, said the mosquito to the ox that breaks the clod
From a dance hall with an accordion, I tied the moon with the sun
for one night I wasn't a pawn, man I returned and that's where I am
much talk about obligations, enough of parties, pawn
you who live off the poor like me
From a dance hall with an accordion, I tied the moon with the sun
for one night I wasn't a pawn, man I returned and that's where I am
