Si se calla cantor
calla la vida,
porque la vida misma
es toda un canto
Si se calla el cantor
muere de espanto
la esperanza, la luz
la alegría...
Si se calla el cantor
se quedan solos
los humildes
gorriones de los diarios...
Los obreros del puerto
se persignan
quién habrá de luchar
por su salario?
Y qué ha de ser de la vida
si el que canta
no levanta su voz en las tribunas
Por el que sufre
y por el que no hay ninguna razón
que le condene a andar sin manta
Si se calla el cantor
muere la rosa,
y de qué sirve
la rosa sin el canto...
Debe el canto ser luz
sobre los campos
iluminando siempre
a los de abajo...
Que no calle el cantor,
porque el silencio,
cobarde apaña
la maldad que oprime
No saben los cantores
de agachadas
no callarán jamás
de frente al crimen...
Que se levanten todas las banderas,
cuando el cantor se plante con su grito
y que mil guitarras desangren en la noche
una inmortal canción al infinito
Si se calla el cantor...
calla la vida!
