Violeta Parra
Start Start
Who will row my soul with a chilote,
And a demijohn (wow) inside the boat.
Who will dance, girl, the pericona,
to be a chilote's (wow) favorite.
Start, start, (repeat)
start (little dove) down the ravine.
Who would play, I say, your little guitar,
And the depth of your soul told me what a wonder.
Because of you, I have sad eyes,
And a heart full (my life) of scars.
Start, start, (repeat)
Start (little dove) down the ravine.
Who could give you, you rascal,
For your indifference (wow) two lashes.
Who would know my soul, make humitas,
to be a chilote's (my life) miss.
Start, start, (repeat)
start (little dove) down the ravine.
If I were to dream, I with my owner,
Life will pass (my love) in a single dream.
That I have no luck, it is well known,
Destiny (wow) hid it with seven keys.
Start, start, (repeat)
start (little dove) down the ravine.
I started singing, for mischief,
I ended up crying (my life) out of bitterness.
Start, start (repeat)
start (little dove) down the ravine.
