Paroles et traduction Orlando Vera Cruz - De Portugal a Entre Ríos

De Portugal a Entre Ríos

Si he de cantar chamarrita,
Vamos a empezar a historiar,
Es una danza de ronda
Y nació en el Portugal.

Como llamando ama Rita,
Los portugueses cantaban,
Y en pata sobre la arena,
Danza de ronda bailaban.

Islas Madeiras y Azores,
Con tamboril al compás,
Si se habrán gastao talones,
Bailando chamarritá.

Por el camino del agua,
A Brasil vino a parar,
Celoso el zamba gritaba,
Chamarritá ya te vas.

Y pobrecita de ropa,
Huerfanita de cariño,
Anduvo americaneando,
Sin saber donde hacer nido.

Sin camatá el Avispero,
Buscando y buscando va,
Hasta que encontró Entre Ríos,
Que le ofreció su amistad.

Encontró pilcha paisana,
Se requintó la pollera,
Y es pa' siempre nuestro orgullo,
Chamarrita montielera.

Te hiciste criolla chamerra,
Y elegiste buen lugar,
Los entrerrianos te quieren,
Y de aquí no te vas más.

From Portugal to Entre Ríos

If I must sing Chamarrita,
We are going to start telling a story,
It is a circle dance
And it was born in Portugal.

Like calling mistress Rita,
The Portuguese would sing,
And barefooted on the sand,
They would dance the circle dance.

Madeira Islands and the Azores,
With a tambourine to the beat,
They must have worn out their heels,
Dancing the Chamarrita.

Along the waterway,
It came to land in Brazil,
The jealous Zamba cried out,
Chamarrita, you are leaving.

And the poor thing was ill-clad,
An orphan of affection,
She traveled around the Americas,
Not knowing where to make her nest.

Without her home in the Avispero,
She searched and searched,
Until she found Entre Ríos,
Who offered her a friendship.

She found native attire,
She trimmed her skirt,
And she is forever our pride,
Chamarrita Montielera.

You became a Creole Chamerra,
And you chose a good place,
The people of Entre Ríos love you,
And you are never leaving here again.
