Paroles et traduction Atahualpa Yupanqui - Chacarera del Pantano

Chacarera del 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, uphill, and towards the swamp he was going

When he reached the track, he saw a small light
The bar they call "La Serranita" is having a party tonight

It's nice to see horses tied up with their reins on the hitching post
And hear a guitar playing the chacarera, my dear, I boast

Chacarera of the swamp
That awakens a longing in me
The countrymen dancing, my horse without a feed, you see

A gaucho looked at the field, praying to heaven for rain
And he stays there, daydreaming, like a vizcacha in its den

Serve wine, Doña Rocha, serve another round, ma'am
I can already smell the aroma of the roasted kid, yes ma'am

Serve wine, Doña Rocha, don't you want to charge me
With "gatos" and chacareras, my dear, I'll pay you, you'll see

Chacarera of the swamp
That awakens a longing in me
The countrymen dancing, my horse without a feed, you see
