Milonga de Martín Fierro
Diego El Cigala
Martin Fierro's Milonga
I ain't no fancy singer
'Cause my thing is to sing
I don't know when to stop
And I age while singing
The verses keep flowing
Like spring water
I'm a cowboy, understand it
As my language explains
To me the land is small
And could be bigger
Neither the snake bites me
Nor does the sun burn my forehead
As long as the strings sound
As long as you find the beat
I won't stay behind
Without defending my spot
And I've sworn that never
Will they take it from me
No one can take away
What God gave me
What I brought from the world
The world will take away
I'm a cowboy, understand it
As my language explains
To me the land is small
And could be bigger
Neither the snake bites me
Nor does the sun burn my forehead
I'm a bull in my rodeo
And a big bull in someone else's ring
I always thought of myself as good
And if they want to test me
Let another one sing
And we'll see who's lesser
No one can take away
What God gave me
What I brought from the world
The world will take away
I'm a cowboy, understand it
As my language explains
To me the land is small
And could be bigger
Neither the snake bites me
Nor does the sun burn my forehead
