El Lancero

The Lancer*

sung:

And the year seventy arrives
Las Lanzas revolution
again there are free men
that are played and planted
and again in his proclamation
the principles betrayed
they resonate like a target
that brings together the gauchos.

recitation:

Maybe there is no character
that awakens more sympathy
that that Timoteo Aparicio,
sincere and brave gaucho.

For him a tacuara
they never served as a cattle prod
like arra and crescent
and it stabs at the loads.

sung:

In an arm 'e Crown
a tacuara grew,
a tacuara grew,
to fight for the country
and sell life, sell it dearly,
sell life, sell it dearly.

Don't be scared my gauchos
that I fight, that I fight
and he is seeing bite
Timothy's dry spear,
Timothy's dry spear.

The spearman, the spearman
it's going down in history
the lancer, the lancer
He rides a horse in glory.

Because Don Timoteo
He is not General, he is Montonero,
He is not General, he is Montonero.

The line soldiers
They are afraid of him, they are afraid of him
when the leader charges
I shoot him, I don't stay
I shoot him, I don't stay.

When are they going to fight
he goes first, he goes first
because Don Timoteo
He is not General, he is Montonero,
He is not General, he is Montonero.

The spearman, the spearman
run over whoever comes
the lancer, the lancer
already entered the legend
because Don Timoteo
He is not General, he is Montonero,
He is not General, he is Montonero.

Many leave like him
the long beard, the long beard
and make the wind tremble
with the courage of each charge,
with the courage of each charge.

He can't hold on
look at the fight, look at the fight
and now inside to load
Life is short, anger is great,
Life is short, anger is great.

The spearman, the spearman
the story is chuciando
the lancer, the lancer
goes horse in glory
because Don Timoteo
It's not General, it's Montonero
It's not General
It's Montonero.
