Canción para las manos de un soldado


El labrador de mi pueblo
lleva una azada en la mano
que grandes tiene las manos
el labrador de mi pueblo
cavando de sol a sol
con lluvia, nieve o calor.
El parado de mi pueblo
llena de angustia sus manos
que tristes tiene las manos
el parado de mi pueblo
dando vueltas a la noria
sin jornal y sin historia.
El alcalde de mi pueblo
lleva un bastón en las manos
que finas tiene las manos
el alcalde de mi pueblo
con su orgulloso bastón
preside la procesión.
El obrero de mi pueblo
no está en mi pueblo
ha emigrado,
sus manos amasan pan
para otros pueblos lejanos,
que lejos están las manos
del obrero de mi pueblo.
El soldado de mi pueblo
antes ha sido albañil
ahora ya no tiene pala
lleva en la mano un fusil
que frías tiene las manos
alrededor del fusil.
El cacique de mi pueblo
no vive tampoco allí
con el sudor de mi pueblo
se compró un piso en Madrid
con lo que su mano tira
cuántos podrían vivir.
Soldado, si alguna vez,
el labrador de mi pueblo
se levanta, y el obrero
se levanta, y el parado
¿qué vas ha haces tu soldado
que antes has sido albañil?
¿qué vas ha hacer con tus manos
y tu fusil.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Known for his incisive poetry, catchy melodies, and raspy voice, Sabina has captivated a vast audience throughout Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world. His musical journey began in the 1960s with experiences in rock bands and Spanish singer-songwriters. In 1975, he released his debut album, "Inventario", which introduced him to the Spanish public. Over the following years, Sabina solidified his fame with albums such as "Malas compañías" (1982), "19 días y 500 noches" (1984) and "El viaje" (1989).
