Lyrics

Por el Camino del Indio el ánima de don Ata
En su alazán montado lo vio pasar la vidala
El aire del cerro, las flores del valle
Se le enredan en el alma ay, ay, ay, a don Ata
Una Luna Tucumana que alumbra Piedra y Camino
Y junto a la pobrecita lo lloran montes y ríos
Por Tafí del Valle, campos de acheral
También por la Bomba i’Lules, igual por Amaicha
La Criollita Santiagueña para aliviarlo del frío
Le teje un poncho pampa al Payador Perseguido
Allá por Barrancas y por Salavina
La humilde con la olvidada le buscan guarida
Ahí anda don Atahualpa por los caminos del mundo
Con una copla por lanza marcando los cuatro rumbos
Que Dios lo bendiga, lo tenga en la gloria
Por tantos recuerdos lindos y por su memoria
Un arriero solitario pasó por Altamirano
Con un silbo nostalgioso en busca de sus hermanos
Arriando sus penas por no encontrarlos
Se fue yendo despacito del pago entrerriano
Se viene clareando el día por el Cerro Colorado
Y en las Espinas del Churqui se estrella un Rayo Cortado
Despierta La Añera con La Huachaqueña
San Francisco del Chañar, también Santa Elena
Un aire de Buenos Aires le dio su canto de viento
Y se durmió en una huella en un estilo sin tiempo
Allá en Pergamino, tal vez Santa Rosa
Lo llora toda La Pampa en una bordona
Ahí anda don Atahualpa por los caminos del mundo
Con una copla por lanza marcando los cuatro rumbos
Que Dios lo bendiga, lo tenga en la gloria
Por tantos recuerdos lindos y por su memoria

Lyrics translation

By the Indian way the soul of don Ata
On his mounted sorrel saw him pass the LifeA
The air of the hill, the flowers of the Valley
They are entangled in the soul oh, oh, oh, don Ata
A Tucuman Moon that illuminates Stone and Road
And mountains and rivers weep beside the poor thing
By Tafi Del Valle, campos de acheral
Also for the bomb I'lules, same for Amaicha
The Criollita Santiagueña to relieve him of the cold
He knits a Pampa poncho to the persecuted payer
There by Barrancas and by Salavina
The humble and the forgotten are looking for a lair
There goes don Atahualpa on the roads of the world
With one copla per spear marking all four directions
May God bless him, have him in glory
For so many cute memories and for his memory
A lone arriero passed by Altamirano
With a nostalgic whistle in search of his brothers
Throwing away their sorrows for not finding them
He went away slowly from the entrerrian payment
It's been clearing the day for Cerro Colorado
And in the Thorns of the Churqui a cut lightning strikes
Wake up the year with the Huachaqueña
San Francisco Del Chañar, also Santa Elena
An air of Buenos Aires gave him his song of wind
And he slept in a footprint in a timeless style
Over there on parchment, Maybe Santa Rosa
He cries all the Pampas on a bordona
There goes don Atahualpa on the roads of the world
With one copla per spear marking all four directions
May God bless him, have him in glory
For so many cute memories and for his memory
