El Sacha Chango
Los Manseros Santiagueños
The Wild Monkey
From the north I have arrived here through mountains and estuaries
My little ranch has stayed there next to the pastures
I spent my childhood there, that's why I love it so much
The little school called me with its happy so-so-so
Happy I galloped on my lazy donkey
From afar, like a cardón flower, I saw it
To my beautiful teacher, what she has taught me so much
In those lost mountains his youth has ended
I remember all this, that's why today I want to sing to you
I want to go back there but it makes me sad
See the tapas house already full of yuyo and pencas
My dad and my mom went to heaven on a serene night
Now I don't have my Chinese girl born in Pozo Cavao
Sweet, tender and precious jewel that has me in love
Every time I go there I arrive at La Cañada
The monkeys are waiting for me there, the guitar playing starts
In Doña Cleme, copla wine and dawn come together
I don't lack anything singing my santiagueñadas
