Lyrics
La Ruana
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.
La capa del viejo hidalgo
se rompe para hacer ruana,
y cuatro rayas confunden
el castillo y la cabaña,
es fundadora de pueblos,
con el tiple y con el hacha,
y con el perro andariego
que se trago las montañas.
Abrigo del macho macho
cobija de cuna paisa
sombra fiel de los abuelos
y tesoro de la patria.
Sabor de pecado dulce
y dulce calor de faldas
grita con sus cuatro puntas
el abrazo de la ruana.
Porque tengo noble ancestro
de Don Quijote y Quimbaya,
hice una ruana antioqueña
de una capa castellana.
Por eso cuando sus pliegues
abrazo y ellos me abrazan
siento que mi ruana altiva
me esta abrigando es el alma.
