A Don Jose
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.
¿Ven ese criollo rodear?, (rodear, rodear)
Los paisanos le dicen, mi General
Los paisanos le dicen mi General
Va alumbrando cn su voz, la oscuridad
Y hasta las piedras saben, a donde va
Y hasta las piedras saben, a donde va
Con Libertad, no ofendo ni temo
Que Don José, oriental en la vida
Y en la muerte también
Oriental en la vida
Y en la muerte también
Ven a los indios formar, el escuadrón
Y aprontar los morenos, el corazón
Y aprontar los morenos, el corazón
Y de fogón en fogón, se oye la voz
Si la patria me llama, aquí estoy yo
Si la patria me llama, aquí estoy yo
Con Libertad, no ofendo ni temo
Que Don José, oriental en la vida
Y en la muerte también
Oriental en la vida
Y en la muerte también
