Paroles et traduction Soledad - Si de Cantar Se Trata (En Vivo)

Si de Cantar Se Trata (En Vivo)

Con Vitillo y con Machaco
Yo aprendí las chacareras,
Las cantaba todo el día
Allá en Salta campo afuera.
Andando por Payogasta
De changuita ya sabía,
Que aunque nos llenen de gringos
A esto no lo cambiaría.
Me rodeaban las guitarras,
Bombos y trajes de gauchos,
Pucha que lindo les queda
A todos estos paisanos.
Si ya tenés veinte años
Y no sabes decidirte,
Venite para el folclore
No hace falta que te invite.
Duele si del folclore
Dicen que es cosas de viejo
Si sos joven promete
No aflojarle ni un momento.
Me parece a ver oido
Decir que se esta acabando
Con tu mano y con la mia
Vamos a seguir tirando.
Si cantando en las reuniones
Por alli uno se rie
No te aflijes perdonalo
No conoce sus raices.
Si seguis con veinte años
Afinando una guitarra
Llevate todo el folclore
Por donde quieras
Que valla.
Gracias!!

If Singing is What It's About (Live)

With Vitillo and with Machaco
I learned chacareras,
I sang them all day long
There in Salta, out in the countryside.
Walking through Payogasta
As a little girl, I already knew,
That even if they fill us with gringos
I wouldn't trade this for anything.
I was surrounded by guitars,
Drums and gaucho costumes,
Oh, how nice they look
To all these countrymen.
If you're already twenty years old
And you can't make up your mind,
Come to folklore
You don't need an invitation from me.
It hurts if someone says about folklore
That it's something for old people
If you're young, promise me
Never to let go for a moment.
I seem to have heard
Someone say that it's dying out
With your hand and mine
We're going to keep going.
If you sing at gatherings
Someone might laugh at you
Don't worry, forgive them
They don't know their roots.
If you're still twenty years old
Tuning a guitar
Take all the folklore with you
Wherever you go
Let it go.
Thank you!!
