Translation of the song lyrics Chacarera del Mishki Mayu - Raly Barrionuevo, Carlos Oscar Carabajal, Horacio Banegas

Chacarera del Mishki Mayu (original)

Por los montes de Santiago
corre una cinta plateada
y esos campos que atraviesa
parece que se adornaran.
Con su aroma, con sus flores
la selva ofrece pagarle,
añuritay mishki mayu
por el agua que has de darle.
De donde vienes agüita
que pareces tan cansada,
de allacito desde lejos,
desde las cumbres nevadas.
Chacarera ribereña,
chacarera del río dulce,
que no falte una guitarra
ni un buen criollo que te pulse.
El que cante junto al río,
cante siempre a media voz,
así cantan los zorzales
será porque así es mejor.
El sonckoy que anda en amores
se parece al río crecido.
ay vidita, quién diría
llenito de remolinos.
Cuando el río lleva espuma
sabido es que está creciendo.
ay viditay, quién pudiera
saber si me andás queriendo.

(translation)

Through the mountains of Santiago
run a silver ribbon
and those fields that it crosses
they seem to be adorned.
With its aroma, with its flowers
the jungle offers to pay him,
anuritay mishki mayu
for the water you have to give him.
where do you come from water
you look so tired
allacito from afar,
from the snowy peaks.
riverside chacarera,
sweet river chacarera,
don't miss a guitar
not even a good creole to push you.
He who sings by the river,
he always sings in a low voice,
that's how the thrushes sing
It will be because it is better that way.
The sonckoy who walks in love
it resembles the swollen river.
oh little girl, who would say
full of swirls
When the river carries foam
It is known that it is growing.
oh viditay, who could
to know if you are loving me.
