Chaco
Illya Kuryaki And The Valderramas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holiday en Chaco con tu cosita
Todo se remite a ver lo que es
Parado frente a mi no lo podrás ver
Húndete en el Chaco y comienza a rezar
Que del impenetrable no podrás zafar
Árbol sangre verde que tu quieres podar
Dame bendiciones, hay que despertar
Chaco piel de indio, nunca morirás en el
Chaco estoy bailando en chaco
A mi me gusta el Chaco
Holiday en Chaco con tu mamita
Holiday en Chaco con tu cosita
Contigo desnudita
Mis piernas son hierbas que sirven de enlace
Pretendo atraparte y reírme en tu viaje
Noche chaqueña luna plateada
Lo nuestro se encuentra en una llamarada
No fue tan cruel la mujer del guailo
Cruzando el viento, quemo el horario
Pidió perdón a los allí presentes
Y dio su vida para que lo pienses
Porque los guailos no entran al Chaco
Porque tu guailo no entras al Chaco
Holiday en Chaco con tu mamita
Holiday en Chaco con tu cosita
Contigo desnudita
Ceferino te adoro, nunca usaste trajes de oro
Los niños comieron gracias a tu tesoro
Propongo mi paladar para dar verdad
La venda de tus ojos cayo y no volverá
Hombre al presente planeas indignarlo
Usando nuestras tierras tu basura iras creando
Pero no te das cuenta que la tierra es Chaco
El viento tomara tu frágil alma en un charco
Un charco de sangre, sangre incolora
El agua que tomas, el agua te toma
Chaco
The lyrics of Illya Kuryaki And The Valderramas's song "Chaco" talks about the Chaco region located in South America, which encompasses parts of Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The song encourages the listeners to explore the Chaco and all its beauty but warns about its dangers. The lyrics mention the dense jungle, wild animals like jaguars, and the need to pray when wandering in such an unfamiliar place.

Overall, "Chaco" is a celebration of the beauty and culture of the Chaco region and a call to action to protect it from those who seek to exploit it.
