Alma de Rezabaile - Raly Barrionuevo

El baile ya ha comenzado

Allá por Santiago del Estero

Retumba toda la selva

El repicar de un bombo legüero

De fiesta toda la noche

El dulce brillo de las estrellas

Bailaba la Telesita

Que era la danza, que era la reina

Nochecitas santiagueñas

Ardientes, puras noches de plata

La luna sobre del monte

En luz brillante se desparrama

Que baile la Telesita

Dulce y fragante como las flores

Gritaba la paisanada

Emborrachada de amores

Que busca la pobrecita

Tal vez la danza le de un consuelo

Tu pollera remolino

Tus pies descalzos, trompo de fuego

Telesita, Telesita

Te has vuelto lluvia, te has vuelto luna

Te has vuelto flor de los campos

Te has vuelto brisa que me perfuma

Han pasado muchos años

Pero tu pueblo nunca te olvida

Bailando en los rezabailes

Para que tu alma siga encendida

Que baile la Telesita

Dulce y fragante como las flores

Gritaba la paisanada

Emborrachada de amores

The dance has already started

There by Santiago del Estero

The whole jungle rumbles

The ringing of a legüero bass drum

partying all night

The sweet shine of the stars

The telesita danced

That was the dance, that was the queen

Santiago nights

Hot, pure silver nights

The moon over the mountain

In bright light it scatters

Let the Telesita dance

sweet and fragrant like flowers

the peasantry shouted

drunk with love

What is the poor thing looking for?

Maybe the dance will give him some consolation

Your swirl skirt

Your bare feet, top of fire

Telesite, Telesite

You have become rain, you have become moon

You have become a flower of the fields

You have become a breeze that perfumes me

It has been many years

But your people never forget you

Dancing in the rezabailes

So that your soul remains on

Let the Telesita dance

sweet and fragrant like flowers

the peasantry shouted

drunk with love
