Oh hermano, oh hermano.
Si tuviera un martillo
golpearía en la mañana
golpearía en la noche
por todo el país
Alerta el peligro
debemos unirnos para defender,
la paz.
Si tuviera una campana
tocaría en la mañana
tocaría en la noche
por todo el país
Alerta el peligro
debemos unirnos para defender,
la paz.
Si tuviera una canción
cantaría en la mañana
cantaría en la noche
por todo el país
Alerta el peligro
debemos unirnos para defender,
la paz.
Ahora tengo un martillo
y tengo una campana
y tengo una canción que cantar
por todo el país.
Martillo de justicia
campana de libertad
y una canción de paz.
