THE AXLES OF MY WAGON WHEELS
R.Risso
Atahualpa Yupanqui
Because I do not grease the axles
they call me careless (bis)
if their sound pleases me
why should I grease them (bis)
It is too boring
to follow and follow the track (bis)
to walk and to walk the roads
with nothing to entertain me (bis)
I do not need silence,
I have nobody to think about (bis)
I had, but some time ago,
now no longer have I anyone (bis)
I am never going to grease
The axles of my wagon wheels.
