Yo no canto por cantar
Ni por tener buena voz
Canto porque la guitarra
Tiene sentido y razón
Tiene corazón de tierra
Y alas de palomita
Es como el agua bendita
Santigua glorias y penas
Aquí se encajó mi canto
Como dijera Violeta
Guitarra trabajadora
Con olor a primavera
Que no es guitarra de ricos
Ni cosa que se parezca
Mi canto es de los andamios
Para alcanzar las estrellas
Que el canto tiene sentido
Cuando palpita en las venas
Del que morirá cantando
Las verdades verdaderas
No las lisonjas fugaces
Ni las famas extranjeras
Si no el canto de una lonja
Hasta el fondo de la tierra
Ahí donde llega todo
Y donde todo comienza
Canto que ha sido valiente
Siempre será canción nueva
