La colorada (Remastered)

Soy del Cerro Colorao 'ande no sabe llover
Y 'ande naides pasa el río cuando le da por crecer

En piedras y moldejones trabajan grandes y chicos
Martillando todo el día pa' que otro se vuelva rico

Pasaba un chango cantando en una chata carguera
Y la mula iba pensando "pucha, qué vida fulera"

El zorro me llevó un pollo y una tarde lo rastrié
Vide que usaba alpargatas y eran del número diez

Me fui para Taco-Yaco y a comprar un marchador
Y me truje un zaino flaco, petisito y roncador

Agua le di a un garabato que se estaba por secar
Y me ha pagado con flores que alegran mi soledad

De la mañana a la noche cantaba un chango en los yuyos
Y a según me anoticiaron se había tragado un coyuyo

Chacarera, chacarera de mi Cerro Colorao
Al mozo que está bailando lo voy a elegir pa cuñao

The Red One (Remastered)

I'm from the Red Hill where it never rains
And where no one crosses the river when it swells

On stones and rough ground, big and small work
Hammering all day so another gets rich, my girl

A young man passed by singing in a cargo cart
And the mule was thinking, "Gosh, what a terrible life," my heart

A fox took one of my chickens, and one afternoon I tracked him
I saw he was wearing sandals, and they were size ten, ma'am

I went to Taco-Yaco to buy a racehorse, dear
And I brought back a skinny, short, snoring roan, my dear

I gave water to a withered bush that was about to dry up
And it paid me back with flowers that brighten my solitude, yup

From morning to night, a young man sang in the weeds, you see
And according to what I heard, he had swallowed a firefly, hee hee

Chacarera, chacarera from my Red Hill, my dove
I'm going to choose the young man who's dancing to be my brother-in-law, my love
