The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Si Se Calla El Cantor" by Nathalie Cardone.
Lyrics
Si se calla el cantor calla la vida
Porque la vida, la vida misma es todo un canto
Si se calla el cantor, muere de espanto
La esperanza, la luz y la alegría
Si se calla el cantor se quedan solos
Los humildes gorriones de los diarios
Los obreros del puerto se persignan
Quién habrá de luchar por su salario
Si se calla el cantor muere la rosa
De que sirve la rosa sin el canto
Debe el canto ser luz sobre los campos
Iluminando siempre a los de abajo
Que no calle el cantor porque el silencio
Cobarde apaña la maldad que oprime
No saben los cantores de agachadas
No callarán jamás de frente al crimén
Si se calla el cantor… calla la vida
Lyrics translation
If the singer shuts up, he shuts up life.
Because life, life itself is a song
If the singer is silent, he dies of fright
Hope, light and joy
If the singer shuts up, they're left alone.
The humble sparrows of the newspapers
The port workers are impersonating each other
Who will fight for his salary
If the singer is silent the Rose dies
That serves the Rose without singing
Must the song Be Light over the fields
Always enlightening those below
Do not shut the singer because the silence
Coward overcomes the evil that oppresses
Do not know the singers of squats
They will never shut up in front of the Crimean
If the singer shuts up ... shuts up life
