Original text with translation
Mercedes Sosa
Nadie bailó la zamba de ayer
como lo hacia mi abuela
si me parece verla
pañuelo al aire volar,
si me parece verla
en las trincheras.
Perfume y agua pa’l carnaval
corazones ardientes
Las trenzas de las mozas
que salen a conquistar
allá por las trincheras
su amor encontrarán.
Repiquetear de bombos
llega la gente al lugar
cajones de cerveza
de mesa en mesa pa' invitar
cuando la orquesta suena
baila mi abuela.
II
Mariposas al aire se van
pomos y serpentinas
sigue la bailarina
brindando danza y amor
debajo la enramada
la bailarina.
Años pasados no volverán
refrescan mi memoria
jinetes de a caballo
en un solo galopar
jinetes de a caballo
llegan al carnaval.
Repiquetear de bombos
llega la gente al lugar
cajones de cerveza
de mesa en mesa pa' invitar
cuando la orquesta suena
baila mi abuela.
No one danced yesterday's zamba
like my grandmother did
yes i think i see it
fly Air Scarf,
yes i think i see it
in the trenches.
Perfume and water for the carnival
burning hearts
The braids of the girls
who go out to conquer
down in the trenches
their love will find.
rattle of bass drums
people arrive at the place
beer crates
from table to table to invite
when the orchestra plays
my grandmother dances
II
Butterflies in the air go away
knobs and streamers
follow the dancer
toasting dance and love
under the bower
the dancer.
Past years won't come back
refresh my memory
horse riders
in a single gallop
horse riders
They arrive at the carnival.
rattle of bass drums
people arrive at the place
beer crates
from table to table to invite
when the orchestra plays
my grandmother dances
