I am Loretano
ISantiagueño I am, gentlemen,
in Loreto I was born,
between the carob,
mishtol and flowered chañar.
To the chapel they lead me
of the Loreto Virgen.
The navel full of soil
and the crucifix on the chest.
Beautiful Loretana woman,
gorgeous Santiagueña lady
that the carob had pickep up *
while she dreams with the gaucho.
The coyuyo sings
the boyero sings.
Come, let´s sing together
to Santiago del Estero.

Singing this chacarera
I'm happy under the eaves.
With my woman and my horse,
and the añapa in the mortar.
In the carnaval I come
on the horse in the trenchs.
With my woman in the haunches
to danse the chacarera.
If I don´t play the guitar,
if I don´t sing chacarera,
not having drink of aloja,
Father God, make me die.
