Gringa Chaqueña - Mercedes Sosa

Ahora eres

La cuna de la paz

Y del trabajo

Cuando yo te habite

Eras puros tacuruses

Monte sin flor

Indiada y tolderia

Campos de espinas

Amargura, cruces …

Sangre de mi gente

Tu horizonte maduro

Gringos te abonaron

Con su piel y su sudor

Dejame decir

Lo que yo te di

Dejame que cuente

De este chaco que hice yo

Yo te trabaje

Hice de tu piel

Una sombra nueva

Yo te di algodon

Hijos te brinde

Rostros de cosecha

Chaco montaraz

Toba redomon

Fui mujer entera

Tu tierra vacante

Fue una cuna grande

Aspera y materna

Tu esterilidad

Yo la fecunde

Cada luna nueva

Y dandote vida

Me he sentido yo

Bien gringa y tambien chaqueña

Now you are

The cradle of peace

and from work

when I inhabit you

You were pure tacuruses

mount without flower

Indiada and tolderia

fields of thorns

Bitterness, crosses…

blood of my people

Your mature horizon

Gringos paid you

With your skin and your sweat

Let me say

What I gave you

let me count

From this chaco that I made

I worked for you

I made your skin

a new shadow

I gave you cotton

children give you

harvest faces

wild chaco

round tuff

I was a whole woman

your vacant land

It was a big crib

Rough and maternal

your sterility

I fertilized her

every new moon

and giving you life

I have felt myself

Very gringa and also chaqueña
