Lyrics

Translation

Tristeza que se levanta

Sadness that rises

Del fondo en las tradiciones

From the depths of traditions

Del toldo traigo esta zamba

From the tent, I bring this zamba

Como un retumbo en malones

Like a rumble in malones


Con una nostalgia fuerte

With a strong nostalgia

De ranchería incendiada

Of a burned ranchería

De lanzas y boleadoras

Of spears and bolas

Y de mujeres robadas

And stolen women


Yo di mi sangre a la tierra

I gave my blood to the earth

Como el gaúcho en los fortines

Like the gaucho in the forts

Por eso mi zamba tiene

That's why my zamba has

Sonoridad de clarines

The sound of trumpets


Estruendo de los malones

Roar of malones

Ardor de las tolderías

Burning of the tents

Tostada de amores indios

Toasted with Indian loves

Cobriza es la tierra mía

Coppery is my land


Avanzada de distancia

Advance from a distance

De largo tiempo sufrido

Of long-suffered time

Mi zamba viene avanzando

My zamba is advancing

Del toldo donde ha nacido

From the tent where it was born


Yo di mi sangre a la tierra

I gave my blood to the earth

Como el gaúcho en los fortines

Like the gaucho in the forts

Por eso mi zamba tiene

That's why my zamba has

Sonoridad de clarines

The sound of trumpets
