Paroles et traduction Atahualpa Yupanqui - La Alabanza

La Alabanza

Viejo canto de mis pagos,

viejo como el salitral;
alabanza chacarera,
te quiero cantar.
Amuykayman dice el bombo,

cuando suena allá en Maylín;
por ahí anda Don Gallito
tocando el violín.
En Loreto bailo zamba,

el escondido en Beltrán,
pa' bailar un buen remedio
hay Suncho Corral.
Ñoqa Salavinamanta,

de ande llaman el Troncal;
alabanza, chacarera,
te quiero cantar.
Ashpaj Sumaj la alabanza,
canta en el quebrachal.
Mesmo como si dijeran:
vengan a rezar
Zapatea por lo parejo;
no lo enojes al tierral.
Poquito, cepilla melo
la chacarera.
Ya va saliendo la luna
brillando en el salitral;
engualichando guitarras
con su claridad.
Ñoqa Salavinamanta,
de ande llaman el Troncal;
alabanza, chacarera,
te quiero cantar.

The Praise

Old song of my lands,

old as the salt flat;
chacarera praise,
I want to sing you.
Amuykayman says the bombo,

when it sounds there in Maylín;
Don Gallito is around
playing the violin.
In Loreto I dance zamba,

the escondido in Beltrán,
to dance a good remedy
there's Suncho Corral.
I'm from Salavina,

from where they call the Troncal;
praise, chacarera,
I want to sing you.
Ashpaj Sumaj the praise,
sings in the quebrachal.
Just as if they were saying:
come to pray.
Zapatea evenly, my love;
don't anger the earth.
Gently, brush it for me,
the chacarera.
The moon is coming out
shining on the salt flat;
bewitching guitars
with its light.
I'm from Salavina,
from where they call the Troncal;
praise, chacarera,
I want to sing you.
