Lyrics

Dónde estará Higinio Muna
Vaquiano de trueno y rayo
Que mataba de a caballo
Bajo su buena fortuna
Hasta que lo arqueó la luna
Dónde paró Rosa Cuecho
La del calzón amarillo
Que se fajaba los pechos
Hasta que se hizo un ovillo
Contra el fulgor de un cuchillo
Cual habrá sido el anclaje
Del que torcía los ríos
Del que oficiaba los gajes
De la cruz y los corajes
De los que hilaron con frío
La mortaja de su viaje
Qué fue de Ascanio Zarzalla
Que amarró una nube al sueño
Soldó el sueño a su metralla
Y la metralla al empeño
Hasta pasarse de agallas
Habrán matado Balbina
Cargo de pulso profano
Que con hilos de neblina
Y una aguja en cada mano
Cosió su rabia al paisano
Pero quién la luz entona
Pero quién la sombra puebla
No preguntes, Preguntona
Que hubo sangre derramada
Tras de tanta historia alzada
Tras de tanta tierra y niebla

Lyrics translation

Where will Higinio Muna be
Thunder and lightning cowboy
He killed on horseback
Under his good fortune
Until the moon arched it
Where did Rosa Cuecho stop
The one with the yellow panties
That she was stuffing her breasts
Until he got a ball
Against the glare of a knife
What will have been the Anchorage
From the one who twisted the rivers
Of the person who made the pledges
Of the cross and courage
Of those who spun with cold
The Shroud of your journey
What became of Ascanius Zarzalla
Who tied a cloud to sleep
He welded the dream to his shrapnel
And the shrapnel to the pledge
To go beyond guts
They must have killed Balbina.
Profane pulse charge
That with threads of mist
And a needle in each hand
Sewed his anger to the peasant
But who the light intones
But who does the shadow populate
Don't ask, ask.
That there was blood spilled
After so much history raised
Behind so much dirt and fog
