El Machete
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.
Francisco una pulga vio
que al parecer no era nada
y a la primera picada
en el suelo lo tumbó.
Por el machete caló
acabado de amolar.
Mira si es fuerte animal
que le cortó 'tos' los huesos
y la cuerda del pescuezo
no se la pudo cortar.
