De fiesta en fiesta
SOLEDAD
From Party to Party
Let my heart
keep on happy and nothing else
let it sing joyfully
I don't want it to have any sorrow.
From party to party it will go
and will be a brother of the carnival
with a wild shout
let the mountains of Supá tremble.
Let it see the sun rise
ripe and hot in the cactus
and in the birds chirping
come to snatch an achalay.
Cheer up heart
this I can assure you
as long as there is a person from Santiago
the folk dance will not die.
Everything is a party for me
to contemplate after the rain
the color of the horizon
I don't know what painter could paint.
Spring will bring
the yellow flower of the chañar
and the buzzing of the bees
working on their honeycomb.
Shadow of the carob tree
the earth envelops you in its warmth
a bird sings without sorrow
and the wind carries away its song.
