Don Juan Del Chaparro lyrics

The story of Lopez Chirinos (Don Juan del Chaparro) is this He was returning from his mine accompanied Because of his dog. He came from the mountain New roads. Reaching the shadow From the short (tree) he rested. He had Fever and he couldn't go on anymore. He was Sick for several days, without help And finally he died. The dog was Defending his carcass from vultures Until the people came. In those Days a young man appeared in El Manteco From Upata, looking for work (he was a bricklayer) A pious person collected money for Order the mason to make the tomb for The unknown that he had died on the spot The young man agreed to build it for him. The surprise He accompanied his work, when when moving the Human remains, he found the riches that The dead man had brought from the gold mines And in luck he did not forget to put something on his part To thank you for the gift. This is how it was built The mausoleum, where devotees continue with their Cult for the soul of López Chirinos (Don Juan del Chaparro) The Ánima del Chaparro or Purguó is located At the exit of El Manteco-Edo. Bolivar A shorty, a lily and a guava give shade To a little white house (His Sanctuary of him), little But very nice guarded by a Post Military (vehicular checkpoint). There is his coffin And on it an image carved in wood Remember that the deceased was called López Chirinos On the altar there are many candles, offerings A bust of the Indian Guaicaipuro, a request Asking for the beatification of José Gregorio Hernández, prayers to the Powerful Hand and Another to the Holy Trinity. A lot of notebooks And students' pencils, on the wall a Make beans, perhaps to give thanks for A good harvest Don Juan del Chaparro works with his light (Candle or oil lamp) green but white, chimo, its His Coffee without sugar and his lavagallo (Ron or Cheap brandy), when he arrives he says DON JUAN DEL CHAPARRO BLESSES YOU IN THIS HOUR AND IN THIS HOLY MOMENT He is a very correct old man, he inspires a lot I respect and he is very wise, he has his character and If he has to scold you to learn the Lesson because he will do it for your good, it is very Appreciated by those who know him
