El Primer Verso
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.
Teniendo rancho y caballo
Es más liviano la pena
De todo aquello que tuve
Solo el recuerdo me queda
Nada más
No tengo cuentas con Dios
Mis cuentas son con los hombres
Yo rezo en el llano abierto
Y me hago león en el monte
Nada más
Me gusta mirarlo al hombre
Plantado sobre la tierra
Como una piedra en la cumbre
Como un faro en la ribera
Nada más
Alguna gente se muere
Para volver a nacer
Y el que tenga alguna duda
Que se lo pregunte al che
Nada más
