Sarita Colonia
Los Mojarras
Lyrics
Translation
Combo de hierro, con más fuerza y sudor
Iron combo, with more strength and sweat
Van doblegando al gigante piedron
They are bending the giant stone
Golpe a golpe en un solo lugar
Blow by blow in just one place
Con la certeza que sera su hogar
With the certainty that it will be their home
Y el cerro, se rinde ya
And the hill surrenders now
A las manos del pueblo
To the hands of the people
De todas la razas y de todo color
From all races and of every color
Con sus mil creeencias y modo de pensar
With their thousand beliefs and ways of thinking
Van construyendo en asamblea local
Building in local assembly
Fin de semana, trabajo comunal
Weekend, communal work
Se unieron, para forjar agua y desague, pista y demás
They united to forge water and drainage, track and more
No se amilanan aunque no hay lana
They don't falter even when there's no money
Se autofinancian, con tonos pro
Self-financing, with a pro attitude
Suena un huaynito, bailan salseros
A huayno plays, salsa dancers dance
Gritan roqueros, piden chicha
Rockers shout, asking for chicha
Se armo una bronca que termino
A fight broke out that ended
Cuando un achorao saca un cuchillon
When a tough guy pulls out a big knife
Una chicha!
A chicha!
Sarita Colonia, patrona del pobre
Sarita Colonia, patron saint of the poor
No quiero más pena, no quiero más llanto
I don't want more pain, I don't want more crying
No se amilanan aunque no hay lana
They don't falter even when there's no money
Se autofinancian, con tonos pro
Self-financing, with a pro attitude
Suena un huaynito, bailan salseros
A huayno plays, salsa dancers dance
Gritan roqueros, piden chicha
Rockers shout, asking for chicha
Se armo una bronca que termino
A fight broke out that ended
Cuando un achorao saca un cuchillon
When a tough guy pulls out a big knife
Una chicha!
A chicha!
Sarita Colonia, patrona del pobre
Sarita Colonia, patron saint of the poor
No quiero más pena, no quiero más llanto
I don't want more pain, I don't want more crying
