Lyrics
Trepadito a una tranquera de niño la ví llegar,
me cautivaron sus ojos y su cadencia al andar,
y entre juegos y la escuela, de ella me fui a enamorar.
Chinita de trenzas negras nunca te pude olvidar,
siempre amasando los vientos tan llenita de bondad,
siempre arengando a los gauchos con un buen mate al pasar.
Al aire los pañuelos la invitan a bailar
que se haga fiesta esta zamba subiendo el polvaderal,
que hoy es el hombre del campo el que te quiere cantar.
Criollita como ninguna, con sólo verte nomás,
niña, aroma de zamba, como vos no hay otra igual,
porque detrás de tus huellas todos suelen caminar.
Nadie le ha dado a estos surcos tanto esfuerzo como amor,
gaucha que das esperanza al hombre madrugador,
y cuentan siempre en el campo que hasta al tiempo ella amansó
Al aire los pañuelos la invitan a bailar,
que se haga fiesta esta zamba subiendo el polvaderal,
que hoy es el hombre del campo el que te quiere cantar.
Lyrics translation
Little climb to a quiet as a child I saw her arrive,
I was captivated by his eyes and his pace as he walked,
and between games and school, I fell in love with her.
Chinita in black braids I could never forget you,
always kneading the winds so full of goodness,
always haranguing the gauchos with a good mate to pass.
In the air the handkerchiefs invite her to dance
let this zamba party up the dust,
that today is the man of the country who wants to sing to you.
Criollita like none, just seeing you,
girl, scent of zamba, like you there is no other like,
because behind your footprints everyone usually walks.
No one has given these furrows as much effort as love,
gaucha you give hope to the early riser man,
and they always count in the field that even at the time she tamed
In the air the handkerchiefs invite her to dance,
let this zamba party up the dust,
that today is the man of the country who wants to sing to you.
