Translation

Pasaré por Hualfin

I will pass through Hualfin

Me voy pa' corral quemao

I'm going to Corral Quemao

A lo de marcelino rios

To the house of Marcelino Ríos

Para corpacharme con vino morao

To get drunk with purple wine


Yo soy ese cantor

I am that singer

Nacido en el carnaval

Born in the carnival

Minero de la noche traigo

Miner of the night, I bring

La estrella de cuarzo del culampaja

The quartz star of Culampaja


Molino del maray

Mill of Maray

Que muele con tanto afan

That grinds with so much effort

Marcelino pisando el vino

Marcelino treading the wine

Paredes el oro de culampaja

Paredes, the gold of Culampaja


Yo no sé, yo no soy

I don't know, I am not

Andoy porque andoy nomás

I walk because I walk, that's all

Cuando a mí me pille la muerte

When death catches me

Tan solo la zamba me recordará

Only the zamba will remind me


La zamba de los mineros

The zamba of the miners

Tiene solo dos caminos

Has only two paths

Morir el sueño del oro

To die the dream of gold

Vivir el sueño del vino

To live the dream of wine
