Lyrics
Hoy conocí la montaña en su voz
ojos de vino, arrugas de sal
Así como el río se funde en el mar
Sale hecha acordes su pena a volar
Luna tras luna entretiene a viajeros
habla a las almas que ansían sentir
Y cuando en las noches hay quieta negrura
lágrimas riegan su piel calchaquí
Canta Plutarco
calma la razón
Canta Plutarco
que es alquimia esa voz
hizo oro mi dolor
Tuvo una vida que ya no recuerda
Pérdida, acierto, exilio, y amor
Esconde en las cuerdas sus duelos y olvidos
Lo mismo resuena eterna su canción
Canta Plutarco
calma la razón
Canta Plutarco
que es alquimia esa voz
Hizo oro mi dolor
ENGLISH | Plutarco
Today I met the mountain in his voice,
eyes like wine, wrinkles of salt.
Just as the river merges with the sea,
his sorrow takes flight, turned into chords.
Moon after moon he entertains the travelers,
speaks to the souls who long to feel.
And when the nights fall into still darkness,
tears water his Calchaquí skin.
Sing, Plutarco,
quiet the mind.
Sing, Plutarco,
there’s alchemy in that voice
it turned my pain to gold.
He’s lived a life he no longer recalls
loss, success, exile, and love.
He hides his griefs and forgettings in strings,
yet his song resounds, eternal as ever.
Sing, Plutarco,
quiet the mind.
Sing, Plutarco,
there’s alchemy in that voice
it turned my pain to gold.
