Empieza a vivir y empieza Start living and start
a morir de punta a punta to die from end to end
levantando la corteza lifting the bark
de su madre con la yunta. of his mother of him with the team.

como una grandiosa espina like a great thorn
y su vivir ceniciento and his live ashen

y han sido niños yunteros.and they have been children yunteros.
