Lyrics
se sienta a la mesa y escribe
«con este poema no tomarás el poder» dice
«con estos versos no harás la Revolución» dice
«ni con miles de versos harás la Revolución» dice
y más: esos versos no han de servirle para
que peones maestros hacheros vivan mejor
coman mejor o él mismo coma viva mejor
ni para enamorar a una le servirán
no ganará plata con ellos
no entrará al cine gratis con ellos
no le darán ropa por ellos
no conseguirá tabaco o vino por ellos
ni papagayos ni bufandas ni barcos
ni toros ni paraguas conseguirá por ellos
si por ellos fuera a la lluvia lo mojará
no alcanzará perdón o gracia por ellos
«con este poema no tomarás el poder» dice
«con estos versos no harás la Revolución» dice
«ni con miles de versos harás la Revolución» dice
se sienta a la mesa y escribe
Lyrics translation
he sits at the table and writes
"with this poem you will not take power" he says
"with these verses you will not make revolution" he says
"not even with thousands of verses will you make revolution" he says
and more: these verses are not to be used for
May master hacker pawns live better
eat better or he himself eat better alive
nor to fall in love with one will they serve
he won't make money with them.
you won't go to the movies for free with them.
they won't give you clothes for them.
you won't get tobacco or wine for them
no parrots, no scarves, no boats.
neither bulls nor umbrellas will get by them
if by them go to the rain it will wet
there will be no forgiveness or grace for them
"with this poem you will not take power" he says
"with these verses you will not make revolution" he says
"not even with thousands of verses will you make revolution" he says
he sits at the table and writes
