Pare,
digueu-me què
li han fet al riu
que ja no canta.
Rellisca com un barb
mort sota un pam
d'escuma blanca.
Pare,
el riu ja no és el riu.
Pare,
abans que torni l'estiu
amagui tot el que és viu.
Pare,
digueu-me què
li han fet al bosc
que no hi ha arbres.
A l'hivern
no tindrem foc
ni a l'estiu lloc
on aturar-nos.
Pare,
el bosc ja no és el bosc.
Pare,
abans de que no es faci fosc
ompliu de vida el rebost.
Sense llenya i sense peixos, pare,
ens caldrà cremar la barca,
llaurar el blat per les enrunes, pare
i tancar amb tres panys la casa
i deia vostè,
pare,
si no hi ha pins
no es fan pinyons
ni cucs, ni ocells.
Pare,
on no hi ha flors
no es fan abelles,
cera, ni mel.
Pare,
que el camp ja no és el camp.
Pare,
demà del cel plourà sang.
El vent ho canta plorant.
Pare,
ja són aquí...
Monstres de carn
amb cucs de ferro.
Pare,
no, no tingeu por,
digueu que no,
que jo us espero.
Pare,
que estan matant la terra.
Pare,
deixeu de plorar
que ens han declarat la guerra.
PADRE
Padre,
decidme qué
le han hecho al río
que ya no canta.
Resbala como un barbo
muerto bajo un palmo
de espuma blanca.
Padre,
que el río ya no es el río.
Padre,
antes de que vuelva el verano
esconda todo lo que tiene vida.
Padre,
decidme qué
le han hecho al bosque
que no hay árboles.
En invierno
no tendremos fuego
ni en verano sitio
donde resguardarnos.
Padre,
que el bosque ya no es el bosque.
Padre,
antes de que oscurezca
llenad de vida la despensa.
Sin leña y sin peces, padre
tendremos que quemar la barca,
labrar el trigo entre las ruinas, padre,
y cerrar con tres cerraduras la casa
y decía usted,
padre,
si no hay pinos
no se hacen piñones,
ni gusanos, ni pájaros.
Padre,
donde no hay flores
no hay abejas,
ni cera, ni miel.
Padre,
que el campo ya no es el campo.
Padre,
mañana del cielo lloverá sangre.
El viento lo canta llorando.
Padre,
ya están aquí...
Monstruos de carne
con gusanos de hierro.
Padre,
no tengáis miedo,
decid que no,
que yo os espero.
Padre,
que están matando la tierra.
Padre,
dejad de llorar
que nos han declarado la guerra.

Joan Manuel Serrat i Teresa (Barcellona, 1943) è uno dei cantautori spagnoli più amati e influenti di tutti i tempi.

Serrat è noto per le sue interpretazioni intense ed emozionali, spesso accompagnate da una chitarra acustica.
