La Vieja
Los Hermanos Toledo
The Old Woman
This truncated chacarera
Was born in Salavina
It was raised in the guitars
Of Soco and Cachilo Díaz
They played it on guitar
On guitar and bandoneon
Mandolin, guitar and drum
And that's how I remember it
Salavina is a piece
Of Santiago del Estero
It's the land I love the most
Said a Salavinero
Chacarera, chacarera
The oldest of the truncated ones
Maybe they forget about you out there
But in Salavina, never
Oh, dear, with the truncated ones
A bit wild indeed
And even though they're feisty and crossed
They're sweet to sing
If a friend tells you
Play a little trunquita for me
Make them listen to The Old Woman
With soul and heartfelt
One old woman and another old woman
And another old woman make three
If the old women are like these
Let them all come at once
Chacarera, chacarera
The oldest of the truncated ones
Maybe they forget about you out there
But in Salavina, never
