Lyrics
Soy de cerro Colorao
Ande no sabe llover
Y ande naide 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 rastré
Vide que usaba alpargatas
Y eran del número diez
Me fui para Taco y Yaco
A comprar un marchador
Y me traje 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 lo yuyos
Y según me ha noticiado
Se había tragao un coyuyo
Chacarera, chcarera
De mi cerro Colorado
Al mozo que está bailando
Lo voy a elegir pa' cuñao
Lyrics translation
I'm from cerro Colorao
Walk doesn't know how to rain
And ande naide passes the river
When it grows
In stones and mouldings
They work big and small
Hammering all day pa'
Let another get rich
I passed a chango singing
On a flat cargo
And the mule was thinking
Pucha, what a full life
The Fox brought me a chicken.
And one afternoon I crawled it
I saw him wearing espadrilles.
And they were number ten
I went for Taco and Yaco
To buy a walker
And I brought a skinny backpack.
Little snore and snore
Water I gave a doodle
That it was about to dry out
And he paid me with flowers
That brighten my loneliness
From morning till night
He sang a chango in Lo yuyos
And as you've informed me
He had swallowed a coyuyo
Chacarera, chcarera
From my Colorado hill
To the boy who is dancing
I'll choose pa ' cuñao
