Cuando vayas á los campos,
no te apartes del camino,
que puedes pisar el sueño
de los abuelos dormidos.
Campesino, campesino.
¡Por ti canto, Campesino!
Unos, son tierra menuda.
Otras, la raíz del trigo.
Otros son piedras dispersas
en la orillita del río.
Campesino, Campesino.
¡Por ti canto, Campesino!
Cuántas veces, cuántas veces,
más allá del sembradío,
en la fragua de las tardes
fueron á templar sus gritos
Campesino, Campesino.
¡Por ti canto, Campesino!
Sagrado misión del hombre:
nieve, sol y sacrificio.
Morir sembrando la vida.
Vivir, templando su grito.
Campesino, Campesino,
Par ti canto, ¡Campesino!
Cuando vayas á los campos,
no te apartes del camino,
que puedes pisar el sueño
de los abuelos dormidos.
Nunca muertos, ¡sí dormidos ¡
Nunca muertos, ¡si dormidos!
Campesino, Campesino
