Canción IV

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.

A los hombres de la pampa

que quisieron protestar

los mataron como perros

porque había que matar.

No hay que ser pobre, amigo,

es peligroso.

No hay ni que hablar, amigo,

es peligroso.

Las mujeres de la Pampa

se pusieron a llorar

y también las matarían

porque había que matar.

No hay que ser pobre, amiga,

es peligroso.

No hay que llorar, amiga,

es peligroso.

Y a los niños de la Pampa

que miraban, nada más,

también a ellos los mataron

porque había que matar.

No hay que ser pobre, hijito,

es peligroso.

No hay que nacer, hijito,

es peligroso.

¿Dónde están los asesinos

que mataron por matar?

Lo juramos por la tierra,

los tendremos que encontrar.

Lo juramos por la vida,

lo tendremos que encontrar.

Lo juramos por la muerte,

los tendremos que encontrar.

Lo juramos compañeros,

ese día llegará.
