Viene Clareando
Los Chalchaleros
Dawning Comes
(zamba)
My dear, I'm leaving
From the lands of Tucumán.
In the Aconquija, dawning comes;
My dear, I'll never forget you.
My dear, it's sad,
My heart sighing.
And with my handkerchief I say to you:
Dove, my dear, goodbye, goodbye.
My dear, I'm leaving
And it seems I won't return.
Cursed be my fate to love you so much,
My dear, and have to lose you!
Cursed be my fate to love you so much!
My suffering is dawning.
At dawn I will go
To the lands of Chaquivil
And even my spurs will tell you:
My dear, don't forget me.
Zamba yes, sorrow no;
That's what my heart wants;
But even the zamba turns sad,
My dear, when goodbye is said.

Dawning: sunrise
Land: town or birthplace or where one lives
Aconquija: Tucuman mountain range with snowy peaks, where sugarcane is grown
He'i, he'i de: (Arg) I shall
Cursed be: damn it!
Chaquivil: valleys in the province of Tucumán, with its most important town being San José
