Disparada

Prepare your heart
For the things I'm going to tell
I come from the backlands
I come from the backlands
I come from the backlands
And I may not please you

I learned to say no
To see death without crying
And death, destiny, everything
Death, destiny, everything
Was out of place
I live to fix

In the cattle drive, I was once a steer
But one day I mounted
Not for a reason of my own
Or of anyone with me
Who had any desire
But out of necessity

From the owner of a cattle drive
Whose cowboy died

Cowboy for a long time
Firm lasso strong arm
Lots of cattle lots of people
For life I held
I followed as in a dream
And cowboy was a king

But the world kept turning
On the hooves of my horse
And in the dreams I dreamt
The visions becoming clear
The visions becoming clear
Until one day I woke up

Then I couldn't continue
Brave lieutenant place
Of cattle and people owner
Because with cattle you brand
Drive fatten and kill
But with people it's different

If you don't agree
I can't apologize
I don't sing to deceive
I'll grab my guitar
I'll leave you aside
I'll sing somewhere else

In the cattle drive, I was once a steer
Cowboy, I was once a king
Not for a reason of my own
Or of anyone with me
And any desire
For anything of yours
For anything of yours
Desire farther than me
