Declaran la huelga
Hay hambre en las casas
Es mucho el trabajo
Y poco el jornal
Y en ese entrevero
De lucha sangrienta
Se venga de un hombre
La ley patronal
Los viejos no saben
Que lo condenaron
Pues miente, piadosa
Su pobre mujer
Quizás un milagro
Le llevé el indulto
Y vuelva en su casa
La dicha de ayer
Mientras tanto
Al pie de la santa cruz
Una anciana desolada
Llorando implora a Jesús
Por tus llagas que son santas
Por mi pena y mi dolor
Ten piedad de nuestro hijo
¡Protégelo, señor!
Y el anciano
Que no sabe ya rezar
Con acento tembloroso
También protesta a la par
¿Qué mal te hicimos nosotros
Pa' darnos tanto dolor?
Y, a su vez, dice la anciana
¡Protégelo, señor!
Los pies engrillados
Cruzó la planchada
La esposa lo mira
Quisiera gritar
Y el pibe inocente
Que lleva en los brazos
Le dice llorando
¡Yo quiero a papá!
Largaron amarras
Y el último cabo
Vibró, al desprenderse
En todo su ser
Se pierde de vista
La nave maldita
Y cae desmayada
La pobre mujer
