Lyrics

Zambita arribeña
De donde vendras!!!
Quien sabe que ausencias
Y que nostalgias
Lloraras…
Alla en las quebradas
Y en el pajonal
Se estira tu canto como un lamento
Del piedral
Por esos cerros se llevan los cientos
Los tristes acentos de mi soledad
A veces el llano
Se vuelve canto
En el andar
Zambita arribeña
Tal vez un amor
Te dio la tristeza que en estos tiempos
Sufro yo
Caminos andando
Quien sabe por que
Igual que la zamba, con un recuerdo vivire
Por esos cerros se llevan los vientos
Los tristes acentos de mi soledad
A veces el llanto
Se vuelve canto
En el andar

Lyrics translation

Zambita arribeña
Where you come from!!!
Who knows what absences
And what nostalgia
Cry…
There in the ravines
And in the pajonal
It stretches your singing like a lament
Of the stone
Through those hills they take the hundreds
The sad accents of my loneliness
Sometimes the plain
It becomes singing
On the floor
Zambita arribeña
Maybe a love
It gave you the sadness that in these times
I suffer
Walking paths
Who knows why
Just like the zamba, with a memory I will live
Through those hills are the winds
The sad accents of my loneliness
Sometimes crying
It becomes singing
On the floor
