Translation of the song lyrics Si Llega A Ser Tucumana - Mercedes Sosa

Si Llega A Ser Tucumana (original)

Si la cintura es un junco
Y la boca es colorada
Si son los ojos retintos…
Esa moza es tucumana
Si es dulce como esa niña
Y airosa cuando la bailan
Si te gana el corazón…
Esa zamba es tucumana
Y si la moza y la zamba llegan a ser tucumanas
Ahogate en agua bendita que ya ni el diablo te salva
Si es redondita y jugosa
Lo mismo que una naranja
Si es noche cerrada el pelo…
Esa moza es tucumana
Si a las sombras del pañuelo
Le va anudando distancias
Si te consuela y te miente…
Esa zamba es tucumana

Si Llega A Ser Tucumana (translation)

If the waist is a rush
And the mouth is red
If it's the dark eyes...
That girl is from Tucuman
If she is sweet like that girl
And she airy when they dance her
If she wins your heart...
That zamba is from Tucuman
And if the girl and the zamba become Tucuman
Drown in holy water that not even the devil saves you
If she is round and juicy
the same as an orange
If the hair is closed night…
That girl is from Tucuman
Yes to the shadows of the handkerchief
She is knotting distances
If she comforts you and lies to you...
That zamba is from Tucuman
