Hace tan solo diez años
Que te fuiste de la aldea
Cambiaste tu prado verde
Por un pedazo de acera
Por un infierno de asfalto
Y una casa en las afueras
Labrador, labrador que hueles a tierra y campo
Recuerda que la ciudad, labrador
La hicieron para los sabios
Y no para un segador
Labrador, labrador tu tierra te está llamando
Ya está madura tu mies, labrador
Y tu cigarra cantando
Y tus encinas al sol
Te vestirás de corbata
De camisa y de chaqueta
Para venir a tu pueblo
En el día de la fiesta
Traerás cochecito nuevo
Dirás que poco te cuesta
Y después labrador
Te irán llegando las letras
Y todas en un cajón guardarás
Metidas en tu carpeta
Bañadas con tu sudor
Labrador, labrador te dije que no te fueras
Que vale más un pedazo de pan
Comido bajo una higuera
Que una rosquilla en ciudad
Labrador, labrador que hueles a tierra y campo
Recuerda que la ciudad, labrador
La hicieron para los sabios
Y no para un segador
Labrador, labrador
