Cancion de Cuna Para Gobernante
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Duerme tranquilamente que viene un sable
a vigilar tu sueño de gobernante.
América te acuna como una madre
con un brazo de rabia y otro de sangre.
Duerme con aspavientos, duerme y no mandes
que ya te están velando los estudiantes.
Duerme mientras arriba lloran las aves
y el lucero trabaja para la cárcel.
Hombres, niños, mujeres, es decir: nadie,
parece que no quieren que tú descanses.
Rozan con penas chicas tu sueño grande.
Cuando no piden casas, pretenden panes.
Gritan junto a tu cuna.
No te levantes aunque su grito diga: «Oíd, mortales».
Duermete oficialmente, sin preocuparte,
que sólo algunas piedras son responsables.
Que ya te están velando los estudiantes
y los lirios del campo no tienen hambre.
Y el lucero trabaja para la cárcel.
