Zamba de Varga - Los Chalchaleros traduction en anglais

Zamba de Varga

Forman los riojanos
En Pozo 'e Vargas
Los manda Varela
Firme en batallas

Contra los santiagueños
Con gran denuedo, van a pelear
Ya Don Manuel Taboada
Alta su espada, se ve brillar

Atacó Varela
Con gran pujanza
Tocando a degüello
A sable y lanza

Se oyen los alaridos
En el estruendo de la carga
Y ya pierden terreno
Los santiagueños de Taboada

"Bravos santiagueños, dijo Taboada
Vencer o la muerte
Vuelvan sus caras
Por la tierra querida
Demos la vida para triunfar"
Y ahí nomás a la banda
La vieja zamba mandó a tocar

En el entrevero
Se alzó esta zamba
Llevando en sus notas
Bríos al alba

Y el triunfo consiguieron
Los santiagueños y este cantar
Para eterna memoria
Zamba de Varga siempre será

Zamba de Vargas

The Riojans form their ranks,
At Pozo de Vargas,
Varela commands them,
Steadfast in battles.

Against the Santiago natives,
With great courage, they go to fight.
There's Don Manuel Taboada,
His high sword, you see it shine.

Varela attacked,
With great force,
Fighting to the death,
With saber and lance.

You hear the cries,
In the din of the charge,
And they are losing ground,
The Santiago natives of Taboada.

"Brave Santiago natives," said Taboada,
"Victory or death!
Turn your faces,
For the beloved land,
Let's give our lives to triumph!"
And right then to the band,
He ordered the old zamba to be played.

In the fray,
This zamba arose,
Carrying in its notes,
Vigor to the dawn.

And victory they achieved,
The Santiago natives, and this song,
For eternal memory,
Zamba de Vargas will always be.
