Salteñita de los valles [English translation]

Salteñita*** from the valleys

high flight without love

don't go away into the air,

lend me your heart

Clear sky of your eyes,

flutter of hummingbird,

cute little lad from Cafayate,

don't play the one that doesn't hear***.

And at daybreak I will make

a flower in your chest,

better than Jacarandá

and in the Cafayate Salamanca***

with black wine I'll make you get drunk,

you'll see how nice when the sun comes up

already drunk from going from party to party.

I'm leaving Cafayate

I don't want to see you cry,

when you hear this zamba

over the wind and coming back.

I will always dance this zamba,

I will dance until dawn

because when I dance I feel

how it makes me tap-dance***.

And at daybreak I will make

a flower in your chest,

better than Jacarandá

and in the Cafayate Salamanca

with balck wine I'll make you get drunk,

you'll see how nice when the sun comes up

already drunk from going from party to party.
