Al árbol ya cortado
No lo claves en tierra
Porque su copa seca
No engañara a los pájaros
Al río que discurre
No le levantes diques
Porque en el aire libre
Cabalgaran las nubes
Al hombre desterrado
No le hables de su casa
La verdadera patria
Caro la está pagando
El árbol ya cortado
El río que discurre
Y el hombre desterrado
Caro lo están pagando
Tanto vivir entre piedras, yo creí que conversaban.
Voces no he sentido nunca, pero el alma no me engaña
Algún algo han de tener, aunque parezcan calladas
Temblor, sombra o qué sé yo, igual que si conversaran
Ojalá pudiera un día vivir así, sin palabras.
Ojalá pudiera un día vivir así, sin palabras.
El árbol ya cortado
El río que discurre
Y el hombre desterrado
Caro lo están pagando
