Con tu puñal desatado
Abriendo la inmensidad
Te pareces demasiado,'
Gaviota, a la libertad.
Quiero seguirle en el vuelo,
Gaviota, si me dejás;
Ya nos robaron el cielo
Será muy duro volar.
El gringo roba hasta el aire
Roba la tierra y el mar
Y una garúa de sangre
Nos moja sin acabar;
Hay que matar esa nube
Con una gran tempestad
Para romper la costumbre
Gaviota, de lagrimear.
En las orillas de américa
Eres la dueña del mar
Yo soy esclavo en mi tierra
Mi continente sin pan,
La sangre sigue cayendo,
Gaviota, sobre los dos,
El yankee ríe por dentro,
Gaviota, parémoslo.
Con tu armamento de espumas
Con mi puñal vengador
Con su balazo la luna
Con el gatillo del sol
Hay que matar esa historia
Con un disparo final
Para que lluevan auroras
Sobre mi tierra y tu mar.
