La Colorada - Remastered 2003

Soy de cerro Colorao
ande no sabe llover,
y ande naide 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 rastré,
vide que usaba alpargatas
y eran del número diez.

Me fui para Taco y Yaco
a comprar un marchador
y me traje un zaino flaco,
peticito 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 lo yuyos
y según me ha noticiado
se había tragao un coyuyo.

Chacarera, chcarera
de mi cerro Colorado,
al mozo que está bailando
lo voy a elegir pa' cuñao.

The Red One - Remastered 2003

I'm from Red Hill, my darling,
where it never seems to rain,
and where nobody crosses the river
when it decides to swell and strain.

On stones and rocky formations, love,
big and small ones work all day,
hammering away relentlessly,
so someone else can get rich, they say.

A young man passed by singing, sweetheart,
on a heavily loaded cart,
and the mule was thinking to herself,
"Oh, what a dreary life, apart."

A fox stole a chicken of mine, my dear,
and one afternoon I tracked his trail,
I saw he was wearing espadrilles,
size ten, without fail.

I went to Taco and Yaco, my love,
to buy a fine pacing horse,
and I brought back a skinny roan,
a little beggar, and of course, hoarse.

I gave water to a withered bush, sweetheart,
that was about to dry and fade,
and it has repaid me with flowers, my dear,
that brighten up my lonely glade.

From morning till night, my love,
a young man sang in the weeds,
and as I've been informed, my darling,
he had swallowed a beetle, indeed.

Chacarera, chacarera, my love,
from my Red Hill so high,
the young man who is dancing, my sweet,
I'm going to choose him for my brother-in-law, by and by.
