Lyrics
Mía es la voz que lo canta
Y es por sentir que me atrevo
Con las raíces que tantos olvidan
Persiguiendo foráneos modelos
Tradiciones del país
Que forjaron aquellos
En fortines aguantando
El malón traicionero
Que bien describe José Hernandez
En su Martín Fierro
Digo en la zamba que hasta mí trajo
Este guitarrero
Hoy, que en toda su extensión
La patria está alambrada
Desheredados, gauchos e indios
Empobrecidos, reencarnan
Y con toda su ansiedad
Por poseer lo que aquellos
Mueven la rueda del escolazo
Y el condenable escapismo siniestro
Que me describe en su cotidiano
Plato de alimento
Miente la historia
Digo en la zamba de este guitarrero
Zamba de resurrección
Te darán criollas guitarras
Yo mis decires dejo contigo
Para honra de la raza
A las raíces restará olvido
Quien guste entonarla
Como yo mismo y sin perseguirme
Me he atrevido a hacer
Lyrics translation
Mine is the voice that sings it
And it's because I feel that I dare
With the roots that so many forget
Chasing alien models
Traditions of the country
Who forged those
In forts holding on
The treacherous Malon
Well described Jose Hernandez
In his Martin Fierro
I say in the zamba that even brought me
This guitar player
Today, that in all its extent
The country is wired
Disinherited, gauchos and Indians
Impoverished, reincarnated
And with all his anxiety
By owning what those
They move the escolazo wheel
And the damning sinister escapism
That describes me in your daily
Food dish
Lie the story
I say in the zamba of this guitar player
Zamba of resurrection
They'll give you Creole guitars
I'll say my leave with you
For the honor of the race
To the roots will subtract forgetfulness
Who likes to intone it
Like myself and without chasing me
I dared to do
