El Cachapecero

Mercedes Sosa Mercedes Sosa

The Cachapecero

Something moves at the bottom
of the Boreal Chaco
shadows of oxen and cart
seeking the boundary,
slow shroud of moon
over the cachapé;
death of the giant of the mountain
on his final journey.
Let's go... Tiger... Bull...
Spark... Horn...!

And the forest is ignited
by the crack of the whip
and it's a crunchy music
through the rugged solitude.
Road and cart keep marching
and as they roll, they awaken
in the man
a whole world of illusion.

A coiled snake hangs
from the vegetal roof
in the danger of the swamp
hooves in a stampede
and a green tunnel carries
two glowing pupils
on the trunk of life
towards the sun...
Let's go... Tiger... Bull...
Spark... Horn...!
