La Tulumbana
Carlos Di Fulvio
The Tulumbana
Tulumbano is my song Almost mountain I say river
I found it in the prickly pear flower Bathing in the dew
Every weed from my land Has a secret kept
Doña María weaves them in her stick looms
Path of San Pedro north, palm and red sands
I saw in your big moon Shine this chacarera
Today a pilgrim sings to you Who crossed your paths
With a soul guitar and a song in the heart
I would like to return one day, little paths of Salamanca
And let the night touch me like a forgotten song
Beloved Tulumba land, if I return don't stop me
Let me roam to the mountain, looking for my chacarera
Chacarera from Tulumba, don't forget when I die
To throw a handful of sand over my eyes
Today a pilgrim sings to you Who crossed your paths
With a soul guitar and a song in the heart
