lyrics

Sobre la tierra viva
Tras el cerro milenario
Un espíritu de la noche
Engendraba al viento helado

Todo estaba dormido
Fuego y mantos de quillango,
Maip llegó al kau del indio
Entonando lúgubres cantos

Con silenciosa marcha fue
Y se arrojó congelando el manto,
Wendeunk no llego a tiempo,
Todo el aike tembló de espanto

El indio yacía quieto
Y su corazón escarchado,
Todo el kau lamentó su ausencia
Iniciando chenque sagrado

Ahogaron a la yegua
la cubrieron de quillangos
Para que conduzca al difunto
Rumbo al horizonte lejano

Una vieja en el este
Lo envolvió para contemplarlo,
Reconoció el tatuaje fiel
La señal hacia el otro lado

Lleva un mensaje noble
y alma justa de los sabios,
Su destino fulgor de estrella
Cielo arriba con sus hermanos

Sigue alumbrando aquí en el sur
Un camino de antepasados

Chonke no estamos solos
Ellos están mirando…
Aún están mirando…
