Along the Indian trail
The soul of Don Ata
Mounted on his chestnut horse
The vidala watched him pass
The mountain air
The valley flowers
Tangle themselves in his soul
Ay, ay, ay, for Don Ata
A Tucumán moon
that lights up stones and roads
and next to the poor girl
mountains and rivers cry for him
Through Tafí Del Valle
acheral fields
also through La Banda and Lules
and likewise through Amaichá
The little Creole girl from Santiago
to ease her from the cold
weaves a Pampa poncho
for the hunted troubadour
Out there by Barrancas
and by Salavina
The humble one with the vidala
looks for refuge for him
There goes Don Atahualpa
along the roads of the world
for a verse, for a spear
marking the four directions
May God bless him
keep him in glory
for so many lovely memories
and for his remembrance
A solitary mule driver
went through Altamirano
with a nostalgic whistle
searching for his brothers
Driving his sorrows
because he didn't find him
he kept on slowly leaving
from Entre Ríos land
Daybreak is clearing
over Cerro Colorado
and on the corners of the churqui
a severed lightning bolt bursts
The añera wakes
by the guaichaqueña
San Francisco del Chañar
and also Santa Elena
A Buenos Aires breeze
gave him its wind song
and he fell asleep on a track
in a style beyond time
Out there in Pergamino
maybe Santa Rosa
all of La Pampa weeps for him
in a bass drone
There goes Don Atahualpa
along the roads of the world
for a verse, for a spear
marking the four directions
May God bless him
keep him in glory
for so many lovely memories
and for his remembrance
