Lyrics
Pobre del cantor de nuestros días
Que no arriesgue su cuerda por no arriesgar su vida
Pobre del cantor que nunca sepa
Que fuimos la semilla y hoy somos esta vida
Pobre del cantor que un día la historia
Lo borre sin la gloria de haber tocado espinas
Pobre del cantor que fue marcado
Para sufrir un poco y hoy está derrotado
Pobre del cantor que a sus informes
Les borren hasta el nombre con copias asesinas
Pobre del cantor que no se alce
Y siga hacia adelante con más canto y más vida
Pobre del cantor que no halle el modo
De tener bien seguro su proceder con todos
Pobre del cantor que no se imponga
Con su canción de gloria, con embarres y lodos
Lyrics translation
Poor singer of our days
Don't risk your rope for not risking your life
Poor singer who never knows
That we were the seed and today we are this life
Poor singer that one day the story
I erased it without the glory of touching thorns
Poor singer who was marked
To suffer a little and today is defeated
Poor singer who to his reports
They erase their names with killer copies.
Poor singer who does not rise
And move forward with more singing and more life
Poor singer who can't find a way
To be sure to proceed with all
Poor singer who does not impose himself
With his song of glory, with mud and mud
