Lyrics
Don Athaualpa!
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.
Um Don Quixote, um Martin Fierro, um mito
O tapejara dos caminhos grandes
Foi um vaqueano desde a pampa aos Andes
Tropeando penas que juntou solito
Ele buscava com certeza "nel camino"
Matar as ânsias da guitarra bruxa
Ponto mais alto da expressão gaúcha
Que o Deus pampeano fez nascer no pergaminho
Se nem o eixo da carreta tinha graxa
Porque uma quebra do silêncio não magoa
Soltava os bois num manancial de aguada boa
Que o veterano sempre acha
D. Athaualpa, o guitarreiro, o gênio
Confúcio pampa, dos fogões profeta
Troveiro antigo, payador e poeta
O perseguido patriarca do milênio
Brota do flanco dos peraus e galopeia
Do Cerro Colorado uma neblina
E nas seis cordas da guitarra correntina
Uma "Lunita Tucumana" malambeia
Exemplo a juventude do planeta
Que por incúria dos grandes desmorona
Do que a virtude pode estar numa bordona
Ou nos rangidos ancestrais de uma carreta!
