Lyrics of Maturana - Leon Gieco

Maturana (original)

El que canta es Maturana
Chileno de nacimiento
Anda rodando la tierra
Con toda su tierra dentro
Andando por esos montes
En Salta se a vuelto hachero
Si va a voltear un quebracho
Su sangre llora primero
Chilenito ay, desterrado
En el vino que lo duerme
Dormido llora su pago
Que será de este hacherito
De ese de que no ha sido nada
Lo irán cantando los vinos
Que ese chileno tomaba
Tal vez el carbón se acuerde
Del hombre que lo quemaba
Y que en el humo iba a cielo
Machadito Maturana

(translation)

The one who sings is Maturana
Chilean by birth
go rolling the earth
With all your land inside
Walking through those mountains
In Salta he has become a logger
If you are going to flip a quebracho
His blood cries first
Chilenito oh, exiled
In the wine that puts him to sleep
Asleep he cries his payment
What will become of this hatchet
Of that that has not been anything
The wines will sing it
that that Chilean drank
Maybe the coal will remember
Of the man who burned it
And that in the smoke he was going to heaven
Machadito Maturana
