La Tucumanita

To dance the zamba
So Tucuman, so Tucuman
Have a little drink and some wine
Light up a smoke, light up a smoke
Have a little drink and some wine
Light up a smoke, light up a smoke

The zamba from my hometown
Holds a secret, holds a secret
That the song goes out loud
But it stays deep in the chest
That the song goes out loud
But it stays deep in the chest

Oh my Tucuman girl
With a face like a gate
Little arms like palo santo
Crooked legs, crooked legs
Come on my Tucuman girl
If it’s just a joke, don’t take offense

As an introduction

To offer my lady
I’ve got a palace, I’ve got a palace
With a little cot and some rope
Blanket and cloth, blanket and cloth
With a little cot and some rope
Blanket and cloth, blanket and cloth

Green sugarcane fields
Blue skies, blue skies
Man, my hometown is beautiful
The bomb and lules, the bomb and lules
Man, my hometown is beautiful
The bomb and lules, the bomb and lules

Oh my Tucuman girl...
