Lyrics
La greca de lata que traje de Minca
suena a las cinco, antes que el día respira.
Moliendo el grano que cuidó mi gente,
el terroir de la Sierra se siente en la frente.
Este es el pacto, la única cosecha
que sobrevive a la nieve y su flecha.
[Chorus]
¡No toques mi tinto! (VOCES: ¡No lo toques!)
Este amargo es bendito. (VOCES: ¡Es bendito!)
Es la brisa en la taza, la sangre que me abraza,
¡y ay de aquel que amenaza mi única casa!
[Verse 2]
Tú dices "it's just coffee", con esa calma tuya,
mientras se me quiebra la tierra de la puyá.
Mi abuelo me dijo, en su último verano,
"Cuida este secreto que te dejo en la mano".
Crees que es capricho, un sabor que persigo,
pero cada sorbo es un pleito conmigo.
[Chorus]
¡No toques mi tinto! (VOCES: ¡No lo toques!)
Este amargo es bendito. (VOCES: ¡Es bendito!)
Es la brisa en la taza, la sangre que me abraza,
¡y ay de aquel que amenaza mi única casa!
[Bridge]
La verdad es un grano que no quiero moler:
no se fue tranquilo, lo vi desvanecer.
Y este tinto es la soga que me amarra a su ayer.
[Outro]
Shhh... no lo toques.
Que se enfría.
