Lyrics

Grega y horizonte
Violenta piel solar
Viene el viento duende
Por el arenal
Fuego cruza el zonda
El mapa vegetal
Germinando el año
Como un dios rural
Caudillo del clima
La luz lo ve bailar
Loco en la pollera
De la inmensidad
Por Agosto va
La luna invernal
Vamos, viento vamos
Siempre habrá una flor por ahí
Viento, viento, viento
Te he visto fecundar
Viñas, siembra y sueños
Con tu antiguo andar
Incansable duende
Que por la noche va
Despertando el grillo
De la soledad
El río apacible
Te sabe ver pasar
Rodeado de aromas
Del aire he de andar

Lyrics translation

Greek and Horizon
Violent solar skin
The Leprechaun wind is coming
By the arenal
Fire crosses the zonda
The plant map
Sprouting the year
Like a rural God
Climate warden
The Light sees him dance
Crazy in the skirt
Of the vastness
By August it goes
The winter moon
Come on, wind come on
There'll always be a flower out there
Wind, Wind, Wind
I've seen you fertilize
Vineyards, planting and dreams
With your old gait
Tireless Goblin
That at night goes
Waking up the cricket
Of loneliness
The peaceful river
He knows how to see you pass by
Surrounded by aromas
From the air I must walk
