Chacarera de las piedras [English translation]

A walking traveler now sings

One that has walked a whole lot

And now he lives peacefully

In the Cerro Colorado

I let my songs out on the wind

Anywhere I go

I'm a tree that bears much fruit

Like the mistol plant

When I saddle my horse

I ride away on the sand

Half along the way

My sorrows are already forgotten

Caminiaga, Santa Elena,

El Churqui, Rayo Cortado.

There's no dwelling 1 like mine

Long live Cerro Colorado

I celebrate my destiny of feeling in the way I feel

Living how I live, dying how I die

And because I celebrate it, and in the end I am the nothingness

Of the shadow of a verse

I say to you: Thank you very much

Thank you very much, thank you very much

Under the shadow of some tala trees

I suddenly heard

A girl that said:

Quiet down, people are coming...

I will give you a remedy

That is very good for easing sorrows

The fat of a male iguana

Mixed with spearmint leaves

Chacarera 2 of the stones

Criolla 3 like no other girl

Do not venture out on the mountains

Before the moon comes out
