La colorada - Atahualpa Yupanqui перевод на английский

La colorada

Soy de cerro colorau, 'ande no sabe llover
Y 'ande naides 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 rastree
Vi de que usaba alpargatas y eran del número diez

Me fui para tacoyaco y a comprar un marchador
Y me trujie 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 los yuyos
Y a según me anoticiaron se había tragao un coyuyo

Chacarera, chacarera de mi cerro colorau
Al mozo que está bailando lo vo'a elegir de cuñau

The Red Hill

I'm from the red hill, where it doesn't know how to rain
And where nobody crosses the river when it decides to swell

On stones and boulders, big and small folks work
Hammering all day long so someone else gets rich

A young man was passing by, singing on a cargo cart
And the mule was thinking, "Gosh, what a dreadful life!"

A fox took one of my chickens, and one afternoon I tracked him
I saw that he was wearing espadrilles, and they were size ten

I went to Tacoyaco to buy a pacing horse
And I brought back a skinny bay, small and a snorter

I gave water to a little withered tree that was about to dry up
And it repaid me with flowers that brighten my solitude

From morning till night, a young man sang in the weeds
And according to what I heard, he had swallowed a firefly

Chacarera, chacarera from my red hill
The young man who is dancing, I'm going to choose him as my brother-in-law
