Quelques bancs de bois
Une table brune
Des fusils au mur.
Par la porte on voit,
Eclairé de lune,
Le sentier peu sûr.
Dans un coin, des femmes
Bercent des petits.
Ils viendront un soir,
Habillés de flammes,
Habillés de cris,
Payés en dollars.
Coule Rio Grande
Va dire aux gens là-bas,
Vers la mer,
Coule Rio Grande,
Ce qu'il faut de sanglots,
Ce qu'il faut de courage.
Avec la nuit chaude
Arrivent des bruits
Montant du rio.
C'est la faim qui rôde,
On attend la pluie.
Un campesino
Chante pour son fils:
Pauvre, pauvre amour,
Et pauvre guitare.
Lève le maïs,
Ils viendront un jour,
Payés en dollars.
Coule Rio Grande
Va dire aux gens là-bas,
Vers la mer,
Coule Rio Grande,
Ce qu'il faut de sanglots,
Ce qu'il faut de courage.
