La Trunca Norte
Jairo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hombre y tierra, devoción,
Copla y canto, floración
De la vieja chacarera.
Niño y madre, arrorró,
Cielo y greda, comunión,
Esperanza milagrera.
Trunca norte, montaraz,
Plegaria de libertad,
Pulso y golpe, parche del amor,
Enamorada del viento,
Tu río de sentimiento
En su viaje de canción,
Lleva la magia del sol
Y la fuerza de mi pueblo.
Brasa, luz, estivalera,
Hacha y hombre, quemazón,
Hombre y pena, socavón,
Caja y sangre vidalera.
Luna, flor carnavalera,
Alivio del rudo peón,
De su sueño velador,
De su lucha compañera.
"La Trunca Norte" is a song that glorifies the northern region of Argentina and pays tribute to its culture, people, and struggles. The opening lines talk about the Trunca Norte as a messenger, a mix of man and land, devotion, and flowering of the old Chacarera (a genre of folk music originating in Argentina). It shows the beauty of the region, tying its people with nature and the arts. The Chacarera is an essential way of life for the local people, and it forms an integral part of their historical and cultural identity.
The verses continue to praise the Trunca Norte as a songstress, where the simplicity of the mother and child's lullaby is combined with the communion of heaven and earth. Also, the song speaks powerfully of the freedom struggle, represented by the Trunca Norte's roughness and prayer for liberty. The lyrics describe the rhythms of love and the force of life in the region, capturing the people's emotions and their fight for survival. The Trunca Norte creates an intense wind of love and power through its songs, and in their journey, it carries the magic of the sun and the strength of the people.
