English Translation
José Antonio comes riding
through a path,
he comes from Barranco(*)
to see the flower of Amancaes(**).
On a bere bere(***) criollo(****)
he goes along the road
wearing a jipijapa(*****), a handkerchief,
and a white poncho($) made of linen.
While the morning is passing
his recollection frolics
and with joyful romping
the horse pajarea(%)
Thin drizzle of June
kisses his two cheeks
and four singing hooves
are on their way to Amancaes.
Isn't my chalan($$) so beautiful!
How elegant and jaunty!
He holds the thin rein made of silk
which is white and red.
He is so sweet at managing the horse bit
with only silk bands!
while making a graceful swerve
onto the criollo bere bere.
José Antonio, José Antonio!
Why did you leave me here?
When I find you again,
it should be on June and it should be drizzling.
I'll huddle up to your back
under your poncho made of linen,
and between the bands of your hat
I want to see the Amancaes
that I'd gather for you.
when you take me on the group
of your achieved dream,
your caballo de paso($$$),
the one of the peruvian step.
You, my land, who are soft,
gave it its distinctive way of walking
by teaching it the ambling
of a not crept step.
Feel how you took away
the hardness of the bere bere
after the sand hurt it,
faraway, in its country of origin.
Refined cadence in the haunch,
gleaming silk on the crines,
the nerve is tender and alert
awaiting for its master's desire.
It does not raise its hands anymore
to fight against the sand
It was frozen in time
its walking, that of the Peruvian step.
José Antonio, José Antonio
