Milonga Cañera

They call me hairy
And I was born in a beautiful union.
I'm one of those who could
Scare the boss away.

I've been walking
From Artigas to here,
Shouting all the way
"Long live Sendic and UTA!".

With my girl and my kids,
No suitcase and all torn up,
I came here because I wanted to,
Nobody sent me here.

I came with seventy others
And the government got scared,
Go ahead and do the math,
Don't ask who I am.

Don't be scared, buddy,
If you see me looking rough,
Like you, I'm a worker,
I don't wear a starched collar.

I'm just a cane worker
And I was born in a beautiful union,
Count on me, partner,
For the revolution!
