Today is the day of song
the harvest shall begin.
A harvest of ballads
that in nine nights are sowed.
Turn out the fire singing river,
that my heart is a bonfire.
Harvest the stanza singing river,
so it may grow naming love.
So it may grow naming love.
To the Huella, to the Huella,
Cosquín calls you,
To the path of the song that brothers us.
Four courses take us through this path
four courses cross it, four courses kiss it.
At the crossroads a star was born,
to light up the song of our paths.
To the Huella, to the Huella Cosquín calls you,
To the path of the song that brothers us.
This is everybody´s triumph
because it is a triumph of peace
because it is a triumph of peace.
Let us raise the chant,
which blossomed in freedom
which blossomed in freedom
Come from the South and the North
from Cuyo and from the Littoral
from Cuyo and from the Littoral.
Come to see the miracle
which in nine nights takes place,
which in nine nights takes place.
Listen, all across America
Cosquín starts to sing,
Cosquín starts to sing.
Cosquín has a bell in its name,
tempered with the songs of guitars
Cosquín, Cosquín, Cosquín, Cosquín,
Cosquín has a bell in its name
and a heart that beats when it calls us,
Cosquín, Cosquín, Cosquín, Cosquín.
Arise, that the bells are ringing
and the song of the earth is growing.
Now the bells fly searching for the sky
and they repeat the name that unites us
Cosquín, Cosquín, Cosquín, Cosquín,
Cosquín, Cosquín.
Come see the miracle
Cosquín starts to sing.
Zulema Alcayaga and Waldo Belloso, husband and wife.
