lyrics

Porque los pobres no tienen
Adonde volver la vista
La vuelven hacia los cielos
Con la esperanza infinita
De encontrar lo que su hermano
En este mundo le quita

¡Palomita!
¡Qué cosas tiene la vida
Ay zambita!

Porque los pobres no tienen
Adonde volver la voz
La vuelven hacia los cielos
Buscando una confesión
Ya que su hermano no escucha
La voz de su corazón

Porque los pobres no tienen
En este mundo esperanzas
Se amparan en la otra vida
Como a una justa balanza
Por eso las procesiones
Las velas, las alabanzas

De tiempos inmemoriales
Que se ha inventado el infierno
Para asustar a los pobres
Con sus castigos eternos
Y el pobre, que es inocente
Con su inocencia creyendo

El cielo tiene las riendas
La tierra y el capital
Y a los soldados del Papa
Les llena bien el morral
Y al que trabaja le meten
La gloria como un bozal

Para seguir la mentira
Lo llama su confesor
Le dice que Dios no quiere
Ninguna revolución
Ni pliegos ni sindicatos
Que ofende su corazón
