Mi viejo mate galleta
Que pena me dio perderte
Que mano tronchó tu suerte
Tal vez la mano del tiempo
Si hasta creí que eras eterno
Nunca imaginé tu muerte
En tu pancita verdosa
Cuantos paisajes miré
Cuantos versos hilvané
Mientras gozaba tu amargo
Cuántas veces te hice largo
Y vos sabías porqué
Cuando la yerba escaseaba
Por falta de patacones
Nunca pediste razones
Pero me diste consejos
Chupá, pero hacete viejo
Sin llegar a los talones
Y en esos negros inviernos
Cuando la escarcha blanqueaba
Tu cuerpito calentaba
Mis manos con su calor
Pa que el amigo cantor
Se prendiera a la guitarra
Y ahí nomás se hacía la farra
Vos y yo, en un mano a mano
Mate y guitarra en el claro
Mate y guitarra en la sombra
En leguas a la redonda
No hubo jagüel orejano
Ah, compañero y hermano
Que destino tan sotreta
Nunca le di a la limeta
En vos encontré la calma
En este adiós pongo el alma
Mi viejo mate galleta

Mi viejo Lyrics English
My old mate cookie
What a shame I was lost
What a hand trunk your luck
Maybe the hand of time
If I even thought you were eternal
I never imagined your death
On your greenish belly
How many landscapes I looked
How many verses Hilvané
While enjoying your bitter
How many times I made you long
And you knew why
When the grass was scarce
Due to lack of patacones
You never asked for reasons
But you gave me advice
Chupá, but get old
Without reaching the heels
And in those black winters
When the frost white
Your body warmed
My hands with your heat
So that the friend singer
Turned on the guitar
And there the Farra was just
You and I, in a hand in hand
Mate and guitar in the clear
Mate and guitar in the shadow
In leagues around
There was no Jagüel Orejano
Ah, partner and brother
What a fate such a sotreta
I never gave the limeta
In you I found calm
In this goodbye I put my soul
My old mate cookie
