Cueca Del Guitarrero

Tie the pencil to the bridge
With the string, with the string
Tie the pencil to the bridge
With the string, with the string
'Cause it's a poor man's guitar
With an extra string
'Cause it's a poor man's guitar
With an extra string

Made with chisels and knives
Are the pegs, are the pegs
Made of wood and tightened
With a little spit
Made of wood and tightened
With a little spit

Borrowed little guitar
It's for the occasion, it's for the occasion
Like a married woman
In another's arms
Like a married woman
In another's arms

By G and dominant
Let's play and sing, let's play and sing
By G and dominant
Let's play and sing, let's play and sing
And that we're from Cuyo
Let's never forget
And that we're from Cuyo
Let's never forget

Strum it on the bridge
That nails and fingers, that nails and fingers
Ring out in rhythm
To the heel-tapping
Ring out in rhythm
To the heel-tapping

Borrowed little guitar
What crazy luck, what crazy luck
Like a married woman
That someone else plays
Like a married woman
That someone else plays
