Mandinga Abrime La Puerta

(Chacarera)

Already poor and almost naked
and without having anything to eat
I arrived at Salamanca
to see Lucifer.

Mandinga open the door
I said when I arrived
I'm not afraid of anything
tired of suffering.

I entered just a poor gaucho
that nothing will weigh on you
living in my Salamanca
you will lack nothing.

Chorus

Dawn is coming
the morning star is already leaving
pass me the Indian ink
a contract must be signed.

Mandinga open the door
I want to be a guitar player
give me luck for the game
much happiness in love.

If you want me to open the door
you must play chacarera
and before a rooster crows
I already started strumming.

Nice, said the Supay
you won't go wrong
with my tail and spurs
I will mark the beat.

Chorus

Dawn is coming
the morning star is already leaving
pass me the Indian ink
a contract must be signed.
