La Siempre Alegre

I walk along Alsina by the sidewalk; by the sidewalk
I'm going to have fun in the grove; in the grove

I like to swim in the Salado River; in the Salado River
And in the mornings fish for dorados; fish for dorados
At dusk looking for a love; looking for a love
Dancing the zamba until dawn; until dawn

How I like the women from Santiago del Estero; the women from Santiago del Estero
How beautifully they know how to have fun, the women from Santiago del Estero; the women from Santiago del Estero

In Llajta Sumaj they are celebrating; they are celebrating
And by candlelight they have the little moon; the little moon
I hear the guys playing the drum; playing the drum
And stomping the ground dancing malambo; dancing malambo

In a school I had a teacher; I had a teacher
He knew how to punish me for the accents; for the accents

How I like the women from Santiago del Estero; the women from Santiago del Estero
How beautifully they know how to have fun, the women from Santiago del Estero in the grove
