Los Dos Abuelos
Atahualpa Yupanqui
The Two Grandfathers
(Milonga)
Two grandfathers gallop in my blood
Yes sir
One full of silences
And the other, half singer
Long ago, a long time ago
The Indian already left
With his spear and his cry
His piebald horse and his drum
The gaucho went out to look for him
Through those fields of God
The earth must have swallowed him
Because he didn't return either
He returned but turned into legend
Turned into song and tradition
So that the Argentine man
Does not lose his condition
Two grandfathers gallop in my blood
Yes sir
One full of silences
And the other, half singer
