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.
Para cantarte yo elijo
la manera del lugar,
la manera cadenciosa,
campesina y popular.
Sin olvidar la tristeza
esta vez voy a cantar,
la marca de la alegría
que aunque duela hay que trazar.
Contrapunte, capitán.
Contrapunte, capitán.
Contraejército, a formar.
Le vieron pasar armado,
caminante del sertâo,
le va marcando destino
al camino de Lampeâo.
Pero el rumbo es diferente
y eso es cosa de pensar.
Contramarche, capitán.
Contramarche, capitán.
Contraejército, a formar.
En la tormenta del pobre
el rayo habrá que tomar,
la marca será de fuego;
después el agua vendrá.
La marca será de fuego;
después el agua vendrá.
Contraordene, capitán.
Contraordene, capitán.
Contraejército, a formar.
Aunque no tengo uniforme
ni galones ni fusil,
estoy armando de rabia
y eso puede convenir.
Al escuadrón de la vida
nadie lo puede matar,
el amor y la ternura
ya aprendieron a pelear.
Contratire, capitán.
Contratire, capitán.
Contraejército, a tirar.
Al escuadrón de la vida
nadie lo puede matar,
el amor y la ternura
ya aprendieron a pelear.
Contra muerte, capitán.
Contra muerte, hay que tirar.
Contra muerte, hay que matar.
Por la vida, capitán.
