Si Llega A Ser Tucumana
Mercedes SosaLyrics
Translation
Si la cintura es un junco
If the waist is slender
Y la boca es colorada
And the mouth is rosy
Si son los ojos retintos
If the eyes are tinged
Esa moza es tucumana
That girl is from Tucumán
Si es dulce como esa niña
If she's sweet like that girl
Y airosa cuando la bailan
And graceful when they dance her
Si te gana el corazón
If she wins your heart
Esa zamba es tucumana
That zamba is from Tucumán
Y si la moza y la zamba llegan a ser tucumanas
And if the girl and the zamba happen to be from Tucumán
Ahogate en agua bendita que ya ni el diablo te salva
Drown yourself in holy water because not even the devil can save you
Si es redondita y jugosa
If she's round and juicy
Lo mismo que una naranja
Just like an orange
Si es noche cerrada el pelo
If her hair is as dark as a closed night
Esa moza es tucumana
That girl is from Tucumán
Si a las sombras del pañuelo
If, in the shadows of her handkerchief
Le va anudando distancias
She's tying distances
Si te consuela y te miente
If she consoles you and lies to you
Esa zamba es tucumana
That zamba is from Tucumán
