Chinto Jiñocuago

Acapella: I am Jacinto Pérez, a legitimate soldier of General Sandino,
but they call me Chinto Jiñocuago because I have so many wounds
like a jiñocuago trunk on the royal road, old.

Note: the intro and the interlude have the same chorus chords.

Chorus: they call me Chinto Jiñocuago.
I come marked since I was born.
I carry in each sign a story I lived
I carry a legend in each scar.

Acapella: - Chofilo Chinto!
- What's up, man?
- What a big scar you have on your forehead!
- Well, friend, this scar has its story. I'll tell you about it. Give me the minor.

This cursed sign
that is seen on my forehead,
I love it with all my soul
I'm going to tell you why.
The mountain witnessed
that I escaped death
in Sandino's war
fighting in Apalí.

Note: then everything remains the same.

Chorus: Chinto Jiñocuago...

Acapella: - Oh my, Chinto!
- What happened, man?
- And that hole I see on your right arm?
- This one that looks like a well cover? Brother.
- Oh yeah?
- It also has its legitimate story. Get the dimension.

This tremendous hole
that pierced my arm.
It's not like people say
that it's an injection hole.
It was stuck by a recruit,
they say by chance.
Not even with a soothing balm
has it been able to erase.

Chorus: Chinto Jiñocuago...
Interlude...
Acapella: - Oh widow Chinto!
- What's up, brother?
- What a big scar you have on your neck, man!
- They almost blew my head off, man. Listen up, old man.

This very clear groove
rubbed my jugular.
To make it more evident
Melchor Pastrán gave it to me.
There were eighteen stitches
sewn in threes.
For that stolen kiss
I gave to Rosa Inés.

Chorus: Chinto Jiñocuago...
