Lyrics
Por el guaymallén
El duende del agua va
Llevando una flor
De greda y dulzor
Que despertará en el riego
La voz vegetal
Del huarpe que está
Dormido en su paz mineral
Se va tu caudal
Por el valle labrador
Y al amanecer
Se oye, padecer
La pena del surco ajeno
Verano y rigor
Va de sol a sol
La sombra del vendimiador
Dorada zamba del riego
El agua te cantará
Cuando ande en la voz
Del vino cantor
La vendimia de mi pueblo
Y suba un rumor
De acequia y canción
Por el rumbo agrario del sol
Solar regador
Tonada del totoral
La luna rural
Te ha visto regar
El sueño de mis abuelos
Y luego entonar
Con el regador
El vino sufrido del peón
Canal fundador
Algún día bajarás
Trayendo en tu voz
De menta y cedrón
Tonadas de vino nuevo
Y entonces te irás
Conmigo a cantar
Cogollos de amor y de paz
Lyrics translation
By guaymallen
The water Leprechaun goes
Carrying a flower
Of greda and sweetness
That will wake up in the irrigation
The vegetable voice
Of the huarpe that is
Asleep in his Mineral peace
It's leaving your caudal
Through the labrador Valley
And at dawn
You hear, suffer
The penalty of another's furrow
Summer and rigor
It goes from ground to ground
The shadow of the vintner
Dorada zamba del riego
The water will sing to you
When I walk in the voice
Of the Cantor wine
The vintage of my village
And raise a rumor
Of ditch and song
By the agrarian direction of the sun
Solar watering can
Tonada del totoral
The rural Moon
He saw you watering
My grandparents ' dream
And then intone
With the watering can
The wine suffered from the pawn
Founding channel
Someday you'll come down
Bringing in your voice
Of mint and Cedar
Tons of new wine
And then you'll go
With me to sing
Buds of love and peace
