Lyrics
Viejo canto de mis pagos
Viejo corno el salitral
Alabanza chacarera
Te quiero cantar
Amuykayman dice el bombo
Cuando suena allá en maylín
Por ahí anda don gallito
Tocando el violín
En loreto bailo zamba
El escondido en beltrán
Pa' bailar un buen remedio
Hay suncho corral
Ñoqa salavinamanta
De ande llaman el troncal
Alabanza, chacarera
Te quiero cantar
Ashpaj sumaj la alabanza
Bailada en el quebrachal
Mesmo como si dijeran
Vengan a rezar
Zapatea por lo parejo
No lo enojes al tierral
Poquito, cepilla melo
La chacarera
Ya va saliendo la luna
Brillando en el salitral
Engualichando guitarras
Con su claridad
Ñoqa salavinamanta
De ande llaman el troncal
Alabanza, chacarera
Te quiero cantar
Lyrics translation
Old song of my payments
Old Horn the salitral
Chacarera praise
I want to sing to you
Amuykayman says the hype
When it sounds over there in Maylin
That's where Don gallito is.
Playing the violin
In loreto dance zamba
The hidden in Beltran
Pa ' dance a good remedy
There is suncho corral
Ñoqa salavinamanta
From ande they call the trunk
Praise, chacarera
I want to sing to you
Ashpaj sumaj the praise
Danced in the quebrachal
Even as if dijeran
Come and pray
Shoe evenly
Don't make the earth angry.
Little, brush melo
The chacarera
The moon's coming up.
Shining in the saltpeter
Screaming guitars
With its clarity
Ñoqa salavinamanta
From ande they call the trunk
Praise, chacarera
I want to sing to you
