Mercedes Sosa, "Chango" Farias Gomez, Norberto Córdoba
Los sábados al obraje
Solito por las picadas
El guitarrero Juan Ponce
Como sin querer llegaba
Los hacheros en la noche
Alegres porque él les canta
Se ríen de a pedacito
Igual que brasa soplada
Cuando Juan Ponce
Larga en el monte, su voz pastosa
El hacha de la luna se derrama
Hoja por hoja
Sus zambas floridas
Y sus ojos se le empañan
Cuando recuerda mujeres
Se le endulzan las distancias
Cantor pobre de los montes
Borracho en las madrugadas
La guitarra con su sombra
Lo llevan crucificado
On Saturdays at work
Alone for the bites
The guitar player Juan Ponce
as inadvertently it came
The axemen at night
Happy because he sings to them
They laugh bit by bit
Just like blown embers
When John Ponce
Long in the bush, his doughy voice
The moon ax spills
sheet by sheet
Their flowery zambas
And his eyes are cloudy
When he remembers women
distances are sweetened
Poor singer of the mountains
drunk in the early morning
The guitar with its shadow
They carry him crucified
