Lyrics

Arenosa, arenosita
Mi tierra cafayatea
El que bebe de su vino
Gana sueo y pierde pena
El agua de calchaqui
Padre de todas las siembras
Cuando uno se va y no vuelve
Canta llorando y se aleja
Arena, arenita
Arena, tapa mi huella
Para que en las vendimias
Mi vida yo vuelva a verla
Luna de los medanales
Lunita cafayatea
Luna de arena morena
En carnavales de ausencia
Deja que beba en tu vino
La savia cafayatea
Y que me pierda en la cueca
Cantando antes que me muera
Arena, arenita
Arena, tapa mi huella
Para que en las vendimias
Mi vida yo vuelva a verla

Lyrics translation

Sandy, Sandy
My land cafayathea
The one who drinks his wine
Win sueo and lose grief
The water of calchaqui
Father of all seedings
When you leave and don't come back
Sing crying and walk away
Sand, sand
Sand, cover my footprint
For that in the vintages
My life I'll see her again
Moon of the medanals
Lunita cafayatea
Brown sand Moon
In absence carnivals
Let me drink in your wine
At Sapia cafayatea
And lose me in my underwear
Singing before I die
Sand, sand
Sand, cover my footprint
For that in the vintages
My life I'll see her again
