Arriba en la Cordillera(original) |
¿qué sabes de cordillera |
Si tú naciste tan lejos? |
Hay que conocer la piedra |
Que corona al ventisquero; |
Hay que recorrer callando |
Los atajos del silêncio |
Y cortar por las orillas |
De los lagos cumbrereños |
¡mi padre anduvo su vida |
Por entre piedras y cerros! |
La viuda blanca en su grupa |
La maldición del arriero |
Llevó a mi viejo esa noche |
A robar ganado ajeno |
Junto al paso de atacalco |
A la entrada del invierno |
Le perguntaron a golpes |
Y él respondió con silencios |
Los guardias cordilleranos |
Clavaron su cruz al viento |
Los angeles, santa fé |
Fueron noombres del infierno |
Hasta mi casa llegaba |
La ley buscando al cuatrero |
Mi madre escondió la cara |
Cuando él no volvió del cerro |
Y arriba en la cordillera |
La noche entraba en sus huesos |
El, que fue tan hombre y solo |
Llevó a la muerte en su arreo |
Nosotros cruzamos hoy |
Con un rebaño del bueno; |
Arriba en la cordillera |
No nos vio passar ni el viento |
¡con qué orgullo me querría |
Si ahora llegara a saberlo! |
Pero el viento no más sabe |
Dónde se durmió mi viejo |
Con su pena de hombre pobre |
(translation) |
what do you know about mountain range |
If you were born so far? |
You have to know the stone |
That crowns the snowdrift; |
You have to walk quietly |
The shortcuts of silence |
And cut along the shores |
From the Cumbrero lakes |
my father walked his life |
Through stones and hills! |
The white widow on her rump |
The muleteer's curse |
She took my old man that night |
To steal other people's cattle |
Next to the atacalco pass |
at the entrance of winter |
they questioned him with blows |
And he responded with silences |
The mountain guards |
They nailed their cross to the wind |
los angeles, santa fe |
They were names from hell |
He came to my house |
The law looking for the rustler |
My mother hid her face |
When he didn't come back from the hill |
And up in the mountain range |
The night entered his bones |
He, that he was so man and alone |
He carried death in his harness |
we crossed today |
With a flock of good; |
Up in the mountain range |
Not even the wind saw us pass |
with what pride he would love me |
If only I knew now! |
But the wind no longer knows |
where did my old man sleep |
With his poor man's sorrow |
