TRANSLATIONS Entre a mi pago sin golpear (Enter my home without knocking) Pablo Trullenque My suffering was great when I was far from home So much running never to arrive anywhere Because what I was looking for out there was where I was born.

Friendship that is neither bought nor sold is gold

It's only there when it's felt in the chest It's not something to use only when it serves you right.

That's how my fellow countrymen are in friendship Their hands are a piece of bread and prepared mate tea.

And the flower of humility usually perfumes their farm I borrowed life from them and I have to return it.

I'll wait till the creator calls me to deliver me May my bones, skin and salt fertilize my homeland.

The moon is a lump that illuminates with borrowed light Only when she sings coplas of the soul The sun explodes in her heart and climbs up on her voice Singer, what do you sing for if your verses don't say anything?

Oh, why would you silence the silence?

If silence is a song full of spirits in the voice My people are a singer that sings a chacarera They shouldn't sing what they don't feel deep inside If you want to listen Enter my home without knocking

Gala del día (Finery of the Day) Arturo Vázquez I love the light of dawn because it kisses you, and makes you alive, alive and fanciful.

Straight tassel to the wind of noon, I love the sun that gilds you, ripe and mine.

Alas! Heart of the night, finery of the day!

My life, I am longing for your happiness!

When the afternoon cries for its lost light,

I love the song you put in my life.

I love so much the night that is infinite, as your sweet hour, dark and warm.

Alas! Heart of the night, finery of the day!

My life, I am longing for your happiness!

Quién fuera como el jazmín… (Who Could Be Like the Jasmine…)

León Benarós

Who could be like the jasmine, when it begins to bloom, giving fine perfume, to be in your possession.

To be in your possession, my love, who could be a flower!

Who could be as the rose, with its gracefulness, arising, red, with the light of a new day.

To be in your possession, my love, who could be a flower!

Who could be as the carnation, a variegated carnation, growing in blushes and sprinkled in white.

To be in your possession, my love, who could be a flower!

Una de dos (One or the Other) Juan Pereyra Basso

Water bends the willow stick.

One stick up in the air and the other soaking.

As water to the willow, your love turns me.

Some saw me in your eyes and some in the shadows.

One or the other: they will find me crying or I will be with you.

When he looks at himself in the river, the sky comes down.

The river rewards him, giving tenderness.

As that mirror to the sky I would like to watch you.

The sky watches the river, the mirror gives back the sky.

Los Mareados (The Tipsy Ones) Enrique Cadícamo Strange, as if on fire, I found you drinking, pretty and ill-fated; You drank, and in the din of champagne crazy you laughed, so as not to cry…

Pity I felt at finding you because looking at you I saw your eyes shine with an electric fire, your beautiful eyes that I so adored.

Tonight, my friend, with alcohol we're getting drunk; I don't care if they laugh and call us "tipsy."

Everyone has their sorrows and we have ours.

Tonight we will drink because we won't ever see each other again…

Today you will enter my past, in the past of my life.

Three things bear my wounded soul: Love, Regret, Pain.

Today you're going to my past, today we'll follow new paths.

How great has been our love and yet, alas, look what's left!

Me enamoré de una zamba (I fell in love with a zamba) La Moro The night was gathering sleeping stars and dawn was painting its red cheeks walking slowly, eternal blaze the sun shown its immensity the moon was glancing jealously over the woodland's crib.

Brunette and proud for all those looks she arrived in a hurry, perfectly dressed her face covered in blue mystery comely she began to dance and she used their sighs to make her orange blossom perfumed handkerchief fly.

My nostalgia goes behind you and I stir my hope in vain let me light the fire in your innocence and in that dream, see you burn so I can know what my destiny is and entangle myself with your skirt in love.

La Vieja (The Old One) Hermanos Díaz This chacarera trunca was born in Salavina, heard on the guitars of Zonco and Cachilo Díaz.

They played it on guitar; guitar and bandoneón; mandolin, guitar, drum, that's how I remember it.

Salavina is a place in Santiago del Estero, the province "most beloved," says the Salavinian!

Chacarera, chacarera, the oldest of the truncas, in other places they may have forgotten you, but in Salavina, never!

Ay! Life with the truncas!

Braver than the rest!

Although surly and difficult to play, it is beautiful to dance.

If a friend says to you: "Play me a trunquita!"

play for them "La Vieja" with soul and feeling!

One vieja, another vieja, and another vieja makes three; if all the viejas are like these, play them all at the same time!

Chacarera, chacarera, the oldest of the truncas, in other places they may have forgotten you, but in Salavina, never!
