A Don Amancio

And the cacharpayas
Release a moan
Surely it's Don Amancio
Playing the violin

His enchanted violin
Rough and dreamy
Heart of carob wood
And an old ribbon

Zamba and chacarera
The dancer asks for
To the rhythm of a legüero
That begins to beat

If the cacharpayas
Release a moan
Surely it's Don Amancio
Playing the violin

A cicada sings
In the carob grove
The Pachamama vibrates
For the carnival

Play, Don Amancio
Don't hesitate
The moon before dawn
Will come down to dance

Like the river sings
Just for singing
Lucio Rojas sings
Verses of the place

If the cacharpayas
Release a moan
Surely it's Don Amancio
Playing the violin
