Lyrics
A Camilo
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.
Donde cayo Camilo nació una cruz
pero no de madera sino de luz.
Lo mataron cuando iba por su fusil.
Camilo Torres muere para vivir.
Cuentan que tras la bala se hoyo una voz
era dios que gritaba revolución.
Va a revisar la sotana, mi General,
que en la guerrilla cabe un sacristán.
Lo clavaron con balas en una cruz,
lo llamaron bandido como a Jesús (Bis)
Y cuando ellos bajaron con su fusil
se encontraron que el pueblo tiene cien mil
Cien mil Camilos pronto a combatir
Camilo Torres muere para vivir
