Lyrics
Si en tus enojos decides castigar al que ha cantado
Cuando haya quebrantado tu Ley Santa
Haz que le ahogue el llanto de sus ojos
Haz que padezca triste y desolado
Siembra abrojos debajo de sus plantas
Ponle canas y arrugas en la frente
Pero déjale voz en la garganta
Porque bien sabes tú, Dios providente
Que aunque todo lo sufra humildemente
Ya no podrá vivir si ya no canta
Lyrics translation
If in your anger you decide to punish the one who sang
When I have broken Your Holy Law
Make him drown the tears in his eyes
Make him suffer sad and desolate
He sows bushes under his plants
Give him gray hair and wrinkles on his forehead
But leave a voice in his throat
Because you know well, Provident God
That though all suffer humbly
He won't be able to live if he doesn't sing anymore
