c
Antes, dicen, había un hombre aquí en Viñac.
Era el empleado del cura -- Mano de bastón, le decían. Todas las tardes él tocaba la campana [de la iglesia].
El sacristán se aburrió de [Mano de Bastón] porque hacía sonar la campana constantamente.
"A ver si no lo puedo hacer asustar, carajo", dijo.
Se fue una tarde [al la torre] ocultándose bajo una frazada.
Subió hacia la campana. Después, allí en la torre esperaba [hasta que] llegó Mano de Bastón.
Cuando [Mano de Bastón finalmente] llegó a la cima, estaba esperando allí un alma. "Alma carajo,
¡bájate!" dijo. [Pero no bajó. Otra vez le ordenó:] "¡Bájate, carajo!" Nada [el alma no hacía caso].
Después [Mano de Bastón] subió y tiró al alma [para abajo,] para dentro [de la torre].
El alma cayó al suelo, a su muerte. Cuando se cayó [el alma], [Mano de bastón] se puso a tocar la campana.
Después de repicar la campana, bajó [de la torre].
"¿Que cosa habrá sido esa alma? Voy a ver", dijo [y se fue a ver] lo que había estado envuelto con la frazaza.
Desenvolviendo la frazada, vió al sacrisatán, muerto. ¡Había matado al sacristán!
Después, dice, la cocinera, [dijo], "Fue Mano de Bastón [quien lo hizo]".
[Mano de Bastón] fue [donde el] cura. "Yayay [padrecito]" dijo, "maté al sacristán". "Me esperó en la torre envolviéndose en una frazaa".
"Lo maté" dijo [Mano de Bastón]. [El cura contestó,] "Ahora irás preso.
[Tén] te voy a dar este dinero. ¡Ándate a donde sea!" dijo [el cura].
Cuando [el cura] le dió la plata, [Mano de Bastón] se fue. Se fugó.
"Ándate a un pueblo muy lejano!" dijo.
[Mano de Bastón] llegó a donde se dirigía, a un puente.
Cuando llegó al puente [encontró a] una ancianita amarrada en el puente.
"¿Para qué estás amarrada?" le preguntó. "En este pueblo un condenado está terminando a toda la gente" [contestó].
"Ya no hay gente. Por eso, para poder comerme cuando regresa, es que me ha atado aquí", dijo [la anciana].
"Yo te voy a soltar. [Pero tienes que] mostrarme la casa del condenado", dijo [Mano de bastón].
Desató a la anciana y cuando la soltó, ella lo llevó, dice, a la casa del condenado.
Lo hizo llegar. "Este es su casa" dijo y abrió [la puerta] como pudo Mano de Bastón, llegando a la casa, entró..
La casa era tienda. Llena estaba – de todo había – incluso muchas velas.
Luego llegó la noche y cuando oscureció, prendió una vela.
Cuando prendió la vela, de repente
– bum! – cayeron pedazos [de un cuerpo humano – manos, pies] desde el techo.
Un pedacito, el último [cayó hasta que] faltaba nada más la cabeza.
Cuando cayó la cabeza, [el condenado, cuyo cuerpo se había rearmado de los pedazos caídos] [Pero] Mano de bastón, bien alistado, ya estaba esperando con un gran chafle todo.
Con el chafle, Mano de Bastón pega [al condenado]. Otra vez [el condenado] agarra a [Mano de Bastón]. Otra vez lo pega. Otra vez lo agarra. Toda la noche estaban peleando
"Cuando termina la vela, ¡cambiale la vela!" dijo.
Al amanecer,[el condenado] dijo
"Tú eres mi savación. Tres noches vamos a pelear", le dijo el condenado.
Tarde voy a regresar. Espérame listo [para pelear]", dijo [el condenado].
Diciendo, dice, se fue. Mano de Baston fue a buscar una campana y después se puso tocarla.
En la tarde, ya listo, [Mano de Bastón] esperó. Y otra vez llegó [el condenado].
En allí también peleó hasta la media noche no más ya.
"Me vas a esperar así mañana", dijo[el condenado y, en efecto,] regresó así al día siguente.
Cuando llegó le dijo ya,
"Bajo la luz de luna, pelearemos, un rato no más." Y un ratito no más pelearon.
Un ratito no más ya pelearon. Después [el condenado dijo], "Ahora,
aquí hay entierro [tesoro escondido]," y mostró [el lugar a Mano de Bastón]. "Acá, en esta pampa está enterrada mi plata" dijo. "Hay entierro" repitió.
"Con esta [lampa] me vas a enterrar" le dijo. "Todo lo que tengo te lo vas a quedar.
"Tres días y tres noches me vas a velar", le dijo.
La gente [del pueblo] también llenaron [sus costales con el tesoro del condenado].
A la media noche él mismo [el condenado] solito se echó [en el suelo] y se murió.
Se murió. Después, prendieron todas las velas [que se encontraban en la tienda del condenado].
[La velas duraron] tres noches y tres días. Después [la gente del pueblo] lo enterraron [al que fue un condenado].
Mano de Bastón se quedó allí [en el pueblo], rico
con toda la herencia del condenado.
Éso no ás es el cuento. Terminó.
c
Once upon a time, they say, there was a man here in Viñac.
He was an employee of the priest -- [his name was] Lluqi Maki [Strong Arm]. Every afternoon, he rang the [church] bell.
The deacon got annoyed that [Lluqi Maki] rang the bell so much.
"Let's see if I can't scare the bastard."
He went [to the bell tower] one afternoon and hid himself under a blanket.
He climbed up high into the bell tower. Then he waited there in the tower [until] Lluqi Maki arrived.
When [Lluqi Maki finally] arrived up there, a ghost was waiting. "Damn ghost!
Get down!" he said. [But it didn't come down. Again:] "Get down, damn it!" he said. Nothing.
So [Lluqi Maki] climbed up and threw the ghost inside [down the tower].
The ghost fell to the floor, to his death. When [the ghost] fell, [Lluqi Maki] started tolling the bell.
After he tolled the bell, he came down [out of the tower].
"What in the world was that? I'm going to look," he said and [went to look at] the thing that had been wrapped in the blanket.
When he pulled back the blanket he saw the deacon -- dead. He had killed the deacon!
Then, they say, the cook [said], "It was Lluqi Maki [who did it]."
[Lluqi Maki] went to the priest, "Father," he said, "I killed the deacon," he said. "He waited for me in the bell tower, wrapped in a blanket."
"I killed him," said [Lluqi Maki]. [The priest responded,] "Now you're going to be arrested.
"I'm going to give you this money. Go away -- anywhere!" said [the priest].
When [the priest] gave him the money, [Lluqi Maki] left, he went away.
"Go to a town far, far away!" he said.
He arrived at the place he was going to, at a bridge.
When he arrived at the bridge, there was an old woman tied to the bridge.
"Why are you tied up?" he said. "There's a zombie in this town finishing off all the people," she said.
"There aren't any people. That's why he tied me up -- so he can eat me when he comes back," she said.
"I'm going to set you free. [But you have to] show me that zombie's house!" said [Lluqi Maki].
He freed the old woman. When he freed the old woman, she took him, they say, to the zombie's house.
She delivered him [there]. "This is his house," she said and opened it however she could. Lluqi Maki arrived and entered the house.
The house was a store. It was filled up with anything [and everything] -- lots of candles, too.
Later, night fell. When it got dark, he lit a candle.
When he lit the candle, all of a sudden
– bang! – pieces [body parts – arms, legs] fell from the ceiling.
One small piece, the last [fell until] just the head was missing!
When his head fell, [the zombie] jumped and right away grabbed Lluqi Maki. [But] Lluqi Maki was already ready, waiting for him with a big pick axe.
He struck him with the pick. Again, [the zombie] grabbed him. Again he struck him with the pick. Again he grabbed. Again he struck. They were fighting all night.
"When the candle runs out, change candles!" he said, they say.
At dawn, [the zombie] said,
"You are my salvation! We're going to fight for three nights," he said.
"I'll be back again this afternoon. Wait for me! Be ready!" said [the zombie].
Saying that, they say, he went away. Lluqi Maki went to look for a bell then he began to toll the bell.
That afternoon, [Lluqi Maki] waited, ready again [for the zombie]. Again, [the zombie] came.
They fought there just until midnight.
"Wait for me like that [again] tomorrow!" said [the zombie. And, indeed, he] arrived like that the next day.
When he arrived, they say, he said,
"Under the moon, we'll fight for just a little while."
They fought for just a little while. Then, they say, [the zombie said], "Now
"there is buried trasure here," he said and showed it [to Lluqi Maki]. "My money is buried in this ground," he said. "Buried treasure," he said.
"You're going to bury me with this [shovel]," he said. "You can keep everything, all that I have," he said.
You'll hold vigil for me for three days and three nights," he said.
The people [of the village], too, filled [their sacks with the zombie's treasure].
At midnight, he himself, alone, stretched himself out [on the ground] and died.
He died. Then they lit all the candles [that had been in the store]
[The candles burned] for three days and three nights. Then [the villagers ] buried [the now-former zombie].
Lluqi Maki stayed there [in the village],
inheriting all of the zombie's riches.
That's all there is to that story. The end.
