Milonga Cañera
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A mí me llaman "peludo" y he nacido en Bella Unión (bis).
Soy uno de los que pudo meterle miedo al patrón.
He venido caminando desde Artigas hasta acá, (bis)
todo el camino gritando "Viva Sendic y Utaa!"
Con mi "china" y mis "gurises", sin "maleta" y desarma'o, (bis)
yo vine aquí porque quise; a mí "naides"* me ha manda'o.
Vine con otros setenta y el gobierno se asustó (bis)
Vaya sacando la cuenta; no pregunte quién soy yo.
No se asuste compañero si me ve mal "entraza'o" (bis);
yo como "usté" soy obrero, no uso cuello almidona'o.
Apenas soy un cañero y he nacido en Bella Unión (bis).
Cuente conmigo "aparcero" para la Revolución!
