Te Dicen Poeta

(Tú piensas que eres distinto)
(Porque te dicen poeta)
(Y tienes un mundo aparte)
(Más allá de las estrellas)
De tanto mirar la Luna
Ya nada sabes mirar
Eres como un pobre ciego
Que no sabe adónde va
Vete a mirar los mineros
Los hombres en el trigal
Y cántale a los que luchan
Por un pedazo de pan
Poeta de tierras rimas
Vete a vivir a la selva
Y aprenderás muchas cosas
Del hachero y sus miserias
Vive junto con el pueblo
No lo mires desde afuera
Que lo primero es ser hombre
Y lo segundo, poeta
De tanto mirar la Luna
Ya nada sabes mirar
Eres como un pobre ciego
Que no sabe adónde va
Vete a mirar los mineros
Los hombres en el trigal
(Y cántale a los que luchan
Por un pedazo de pan.) Bis
