Lyrics and translation Mercedes Sosa - Zambita De Los Pobres




Zambita De Los Pobres
Little Smile of the Poor
Cuando llega el domingo
When Sunday arrives
Hasta la villa bajando voy
I go down to the town
Y se queda mi rancho
And my ranch stays behind
Como diciendo "qué solo estoy"
As if to say, "How lonely I am"
Y se queda mi rancho
And my ranch stays behind
Como diciendo "qué solo estoy"
As if to say, "How lonely I am"
Bajo de un algarrobo
From under a carob tree
Una zambita siento cantar
I hear a little zamba being sung
Y el rasguido parece
And the strumming seems
Que me dijera "vení, bailá"
To say to me, "Come, dance"
Y el rasguido parece
And the strumming seems
Que me dijera "vení, bailá"
To say to me, "Come, dance"
Zambita de los pobres
Little zamba of the poor
Flor de los valles, luz de amistad
Flower of the valleys, light of friendship
Alajita es tu canto
Your song is a blessing
En los domingos del Tucumán
On Sundays in Tucumán
Alajita es tu canto
Your song is a blessing
En los domingos del Tucumán
On Sundays in Tucumán
Cariñito del cerro
Sweetheart of the hill
Mi criolla buena, ¿dónde estarás?
My good Creole girl, where are you?
Hoy te canto la zamba
Today I sing you the zamba
De tus domingos, palomitay
Of your Sundays, my little dove
Hoy te canto la zamba
Today I sing you the zamba
De tus domingos, palomitay
Of your Sundays, my little dove
Emponchada de nieblas
Cloaked in mist
Fuiste camino de la ciudad
You went away to the city
Mi zambita te espera
My little zamba waits for you
Criollita linda "vení, bailá"
Pretty Creole girl, "Come, dance"
Mi zambita te espera
My little zamba waits for you
Criollita linda "vení, bailá"
Pretty Creole girl, "Come, dance"
Zambita de los pobres
Little zamba of the poor
Flor de los valles, luz de amistad
Flower of the valleys, light of friendship
Alajita es tu canto
Your song is a blessing
En los domingos del Tucumán
On Sundays in Tucumán
Alajita es tu canto
Your song is a blessing
En los domingos del Tucumán
On Sundays in Tucumán
