Lyrics
Nos matan, siempre nos matan
Nos tiran con lo que tienen
Nos venden las pastillitas
Pa’que no nazcan los nenes
Pero nos queda la tierra
Pa’que paguen lo que deben
Venimos siendo los pobres
Somos subdesarrollados
Pero basta de colonias
Ahorita estamos cansados
Antes de los españoles
Eramos civilizados
Por eso te pido hermano
Que escuches mi chacarera
Que es música de tu tierra
Es música verdadera
Herencia de Quechuas, turcos
Raza, esperanza y bandera
Arriba los corazones
Abiertas nuestras fronteras
Alegría pa’mi pueblo
Gente que lucha y espera
¡Que vivan los argentinos
Que viva la chacarera!
De a poco vamos creciendo
Nos vamos haciendo grandes
Metiendo hombro con hombro
Matando miedos cobardes
Solo peleando la vida
Podemos ir pa’adelante
Juntitos vayamos todos
Bailando la chacarera
Pa’poder ver al invierno
Vestido de primavera
Sacame a los que me sacan
Virgencita milagrera
Que bueno vernos contentos
Con lo poco que nos queda
Corrientes yo te devuelvo
Mi sangre chamamecera
Mandinga hizo las trincheras
Tata Dios la chacarera
Arriba los corazones
Abiertas nuestras fronteras
Alegría pa’mi pueblo
Gente que lucha y espera
¡Que vivan los argentinos
Que viva la chacarera!
Lyrics translation
They kill us, they always kill us
They throw us with what they have
They sell us the pills.
So that babies are not born
But we still have the land
To pay what they owe
We've been the poor
We are underdeveloped
But no more colonies.
Now we're tired
Before the Spaniards
We were civilized.
That's why I'm asking you, brother.
That you listen to my chacarera
Which is music from your land
It's real music.
Heritage of Quechua, Turks
Race, hope and flag
Up the hearts
Open our borders
Joy PA'mi people
People who fight and wait
Long live the Argentines
Long live the chacarera!
Little by little we're growing
We're getting big
Putting shoulder to shoulder
Killing cowardly fears
Just fighting life
We can go ahead.
Let's all go together
Dancing the chacarera
To see the winter
Spring dress
Get me those who get me
Virgencita milagrera
How nice to see us happy
With what little we have left
Corrientes I give you back
My chamamecera blood
Mandinga made the trenches
Tata Dios la chacarera
Up the hearts
Open our borders
Joy PA'mi people
People who fight and wait
Long live the Argentines
Long live the chacarera!
