Lyrics
Con Vitillo y con Machaco
Yo aprendí la chacarera
La cantaba todo el día
Allá en Salta campo afuera
Andando por Payogasta
De changuito ya sabia
Que aunque nos llenen de gringos
A ellos no los cambiaría
Nos rodeaban las guitarras
Bombos y trajes de gauchos
Pucha, que lindo les quedan
A todos esos paisanos
Si ya tenes veinte años
Y no sabes decidirte
Venite para el folklore!
No hace falta que te invite!
Me duele si del folklore
Dicen que es cosa de viejos…
Si sos joven, prometeme
No aflojarle ni un momento
Me pareció haber oído
Decir que se esta acabando
Con tu mano y con la mía
Vamos a seguir tirando
Si cantando en las reuniones
Por ahí alguno se ríe…
No te aflijas, perdonalo
No conoce sus raíces
Si seguís con veinte años
Afinando una guitarra
Llevate todo el folklore
Por dondequiera que vayas
Lyrics translation
With Vitillo and with Machaco
I learned the chacarera
I used to sing it all day.
There in Salta campo outside
Walking by Payogasta
Changuito already knew
That even if we are filled with gringos
I wouldn't change them.
We were surrounded by guitars
Gauchos drums and suits
Pucha, how cute they are
To all these peasants
If you're already twenty
And you don't know how to make up your mind
Come for folklore!
I don't need to invite you!
It hurts if folklore
They say it's old people's business.…
If you're Young, Promise Me
Don't loosen him for a moment
I thought I heard
Say it's running out
With your hand and mine
Let's keep pulling
If singing at meetings
There's a laugh out there.…
Don't grieve, forgive him
He doesn't know his roots.
If you're still twenty years old
Tuning a guitar
Take all the folklore
Wherever you go
