SONG OF THE MONTH: La Chacarera

Cuando chacareras comienzo a cantar 
¿Cual ha de ser..? ¿Cual ha de ser...? 
La chacarera del rancho, señor. 
¡claro que si! !claro si, pues! 

Dentro de mi rancho, colgao a un horcón, 
tengo un violín, tengo un violín... 
Es de algarrobo, también de mistol, 
hecho por mi, hecho por mi 
Algo medio chico es mi rancho, tal vez, 
para los dos... para los dos... 
Ya me estoy haciendo, cerquita al Salao 
Uno mejor, uno mejor. 

Cuando chacareras comienzo a cantar 
¿Cual ha de ser..? ¿Cual ha de ser...? 
La chacarera del rancho, señor. 
¡claro que si! !claro si, pues!
