La Cerrillana
Los Chalchaleros
The Cerrillana
With the police skirt
I saw you pass by with long braids,
And right there to my dark horse
I made him scratch in the courtyard.
I got off the horse
I got close to shoot.
With my soul on edge,
My beautiful black, I saw you dance.
How to forget you, cerrillos
If because of you I have a woman.
Brown cerrillana, with heart and soul I will sing to you.
Every carnival
I will take you to cerrillos.
Then the zambas followed
We danced together without rest,
Amid the fireworks
And carnival streamers.
Ash Wednesday
Saw us pass by covered in flour.
And on the back of my dark horse
Then we went to my ranch.
