Gringa Chaqueña(original) |
Ahora eres |
La cuna de la paz |
Y del trabajo |
Cuando yo te habite |
Eras puros tacuruses |
Monte sin flor |
Indiada y tolderia |
Campos de espinas |
Amargura, cruces … |
Sangre de mi gente |
Tu horizonte maduro |
Gringos te abonaron |
Con su piel y su sudor |
Dejame decir |
Lo que yo te di |
Dejame que cuente |
De este chaco que hice yo |
Yo te trabaje |
Hice de tu piel |
Una sombra nueva |
Yo te di algodon |
Hijos te brinde |
Rostros de cosecha |
Chaco montaraz |
Toba redomon |
Fui mujer entera |
Tu tierra vacante |
Fue una cuna grande |
Aspera y materna |
Tu esterilidad |
Yo la fecunde |
Cada luna nueva |
Y dandote vida |
Me he sentido yo |
Bien gringa y tambien chaqueña |
(translation) |
Now you are |
The cradle of peace |
and from work |
when I inhabit you |
You were pure tacuruses |
mount without flower |
Indiada and tolderia |
fields of thorns |
Bitterness, crosses… |
blood of my people |
Your mature horizon |
Gringos paid you |
With your skin and your sweat |
Let me say |
What I gave you |
let me count |
From this chaco that I made |
I worked for you |
I made your skin |
a new shadow |
I gave you cotton |
children give you |
harvest faces |
wild chaco |
round tuff |
I was a whole woman |
your vacant land |
It was a big crib |
Rough and maternal |
your sterility |
I fertilized her |
every new moon |
and giving you life |
I have felt myself |
Very gringa and also chaqueña |
