Si se calla el cantor [English translation]

If the singer goes quiet the life goes quiet

because the life the life itself is a song

if the singer stops singing, dies of fright

the hope, the light and the joy.

If the singer goes quiet they become alone

the small sparrows of newspapers

the workers of the port cross themselves

who will have to fight for his salary

spoken:

"What will happen out of life,if the singer

doesn't raise his voice to the tribunes

for those who suffer, who have no reason

that will urge him to go without a blanket

If the singer goes quiet the rose passes away

what good is the rose without a song

the song must be the light of fields

illuminating always those underneath

May the singer not silence because the coward

silence leaves the evil that is oppressed

they don't know the singers of those who bowed their heads

will never stop singing against the criminals

spoken:

"May all the flags be raised

when the singer stays with his scream

may thousand guitars bleed at night

an immortal song to the infinity"

if the singer goes quiet ......the life goes quiet
