Lyrics

Translation

Para que me pides una zamba si no las sabes bailar

Why do you ask me for a zamba if you don't know how to dance them?

Pedime una chacarera ahí si que te va a enseñar

Ask me for a chacarera, that's where you'll learn.

Ahí me queda un solo lugarcito de bajo el algarrobal

There's only one little spot left under the carob tree,

Para ver como canta el gallo si alguien quiere cacarear

To see how the rooster sings if someone wants to crow.

Como el patio esta recien regao no va querer zapatear

Since the courtyard has just been watered, he won't want to stomp.

Pero igual va a tapar el rancho del tierral que va a dejar

But still, he's going to cover the ranch with the dirt he'll leave.


Como cantan los coyuyos

Like the coyuyos sing,

Asi quiero cantar yo

That's how I want to sing.

Como bailan alla en santiago

Like they dance over there in Santiago,

De sumampa soy señor

I am a lord of Sumampa.


Para que me pides una zamba en ese tono menor

Why do you ask me for a zamba in that minor tone?

Pedimelo una chacarera de trinchera en do mayor

Ask me for a trench chacarera in C major.

Hay nomás sácate las sullutas y comenza a mudancear

Just remove your shoes and start dancing,

Enseñale como se baila por los pagos del salao

Show them how to dance in the lands of El Salao.

Y por que me pides que te cuente si por mi pago y andao

And why do you ask me to tell you about my travels?

Soy buen visto de santiagueño y en loreto me criao

I'm well-regarded as a person from Santiago, and in Loreto, I was raised.


Como cantan los coyuyos

Like the coyuyos sing,

Asi quiero cantar yo

That's how I want to sing.

Como bailan alla en santiago

Like they dance over there in Santiago,

De sumampa soy señor

I am a lord of Sumampa.
