Текст и перевод песни Victor Jara - La Diuca

La Diuca

Partimos para una fiesta
En mi yegüita rocilla,
Y le dije a mi negrita:
Agárrate Catalina.

El perro de mi negrita
Traía la salagarda
Y para quedar tranquilo
Echamos el quiltro al agua.

Déjame la diuca,
Déjala que cante,
Que no me la espanten,
Déjala volar,
A mi pajarito le gusta volar.

Traía pa′ cocinar,
Una polluela gordita,
Y a la sombrita de un árbol
Matamos la gallina.

Pasamos el Tinguiririca,
Pasamos el tinguiriraca,
Yo con mi negrita arriba
Dale dale a la guaraca.

Y para acortar camino,
Tomamos camino 'e tierra,
De tanto polvo que echamos,
Dejamos la polvareda.

Para toda la compaña
Cogollito ′e yerba seca,
Se le va a morir de frío
Si tienen la diuca afuera.

The Finch

We set out for a party
On my little gray mare,
And I said to my darling:
Hang on tight, Catalina.

My darling's dog
Was spoiling everything
And to calm him down
We threw the little rascal in the water.

Let the finch be,
Let her sing,
Don't scare her away,
Let her fly,
My little bird likes to fly.

I brought along some food to cook,
A plump little hen,
And in the shade of a tree
We killed the chicken.

We crossed the Tinguiririca,
We crossed the Tinguiririca,
With my darling up ahead,
Pushing hard on the gear shift.

And to shorten the journey,
We took the dirt road,
We raised so much dust,
We left a cloud of dirt behind us.

For the whole group,
A little bud of dry grass,
She'll freeze to death
If you keep the finch outside.
