Si Se Calla el Cantor(original) |
| 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 |
| (translation) |
| If the singer is silent, life is silent |
| Because life, life itself is all a song |
| If the singer is silent, he dies of fright |
| The hope, the light and the joy |
| If the singer is silent they are left alone |
| The humble sparrows of the newspapers |
| The port workers cross themselves |
| Who will fight for his salary |
| If the singer is silent, the rose dies |
| What good is the rose without the song |
| Must the song be light over the fields |
| Always lighting up those below |
| Let the singer not be silent because the silence |
| Coward manages the evil that oppresses |
| The singers don't know about crouching |
| They will never be silent in the face of crime |
| If the singer is silent... life is silent |
