Mateando
Jayme Caetano Braun
Drinking Mate
My countryman
Then it was mate
Go sucking slowly
How sad it is to mate alone
When old age hits us
So in this finale
That arrived in the goosebumps
My old empty chest
That has had so many owners
Snore like an accordion
At the rancherio dances
It's not that I lack fiber
Not even firmness in the claw
For my old heart
Well paced still vibrates
Who spent pound for pound
Of luck making a fuss
Don't shut up because you're a coward
Don't even cry because it's cool
Lament the true Sun
That goes around in the afternoon
It's the longing
This punishment
That is eating away at our channel
This infernal woodworm
That pierces even the crown
It's the ultimate horde
From the martyred life
That coming to the end of the road
You realize in a second
That came and goes from this world
Suffering for nothing
It's sad to mate alone
In the afternoon or at dawn
Bittering the paleteada
From some past affection
How it hurts to remember the nest
That time took away in the flood
But however it left seed
Of sadness and bitterness
To revive the tenderness
From someone who was once one of us
That's why, my Patrician
That I don't kill alone
Although the blessed green
For me it's more than an addiction
It's my last ammunition
That I neither dispense with nor let go of
And I ask God
However
From the rawness of my corner
That in heaven
Keep me a saint
Partner for a bitter mate
