Paroles et traduction Atahualpa Yupanqui - Chacarera de el Pantano

Chacarera de el Pantano

Por el cerro de las cañas
Iba cantando un paisano
Despacito y cuesta arriba
Y en dirección del pantano

Cuando dio con el carril
Divisó una lucecita
Está de fiesta el boliche
Que llaman "La Serranita"

Lindo es ver fletes atados
Con la lonja palenquera
Y sentir una guitarra
Tocando la chacarera

Chacarera del pantano
Que me despierta un querer
Los paisanos zapateando
Mi caballo sin comer

Un criollo miraba al campo
Pidiendo al cielo que llueva
Y se queda mosqueteando
Como vizcacha en la cueva

Sirva vino, doña Rocha
Sirva otra vuelta, patrona
Ya se siente el olorcito
Del asau de cabrillona

Sirva vino, doña Rocha
No me lo quiera cobrar
Con gatos y chacareras
Yo le hei' de saber pagar

Chacarera del pantano
Que me despierta un querer
Los paisanos zapateando
Mi caballo sin comer

Chacarera of the Swamp

Over the hill of reeds,
A countryman was singing,
Slowly and uphill,
And towards the swamp.

When he reached the track,
He saw a small light,
The bar is having a party,
They call it "La Serranita".

It's nice to see tied horses,
With their gaucho saddle blankets,
And to hear a guitar,
Playing the chacarera.

Chacarera of the swamp,
That awakens a longing in me,
The countrymen dancing,
My horse without eating.

A gaucho looked at the field,
Asking heaven for rain,
And he stays there, looking around nervously,
Like a vizcacha in its burrow.

Serve wine, Doña Rocha,
Serve another round, ma'am,
I can already smell the aroma
Of the roasted goat.

Serve wine, Doña Rocha,
Don't try to charge me,
With "gato" dances and chacareras,
I'll know how to pay you.

Chacarera of the swamp,
That awakens a longing in me,
The countrymen dancing,
My horse without eating.
