Como un puñal, como un arpón,
en tu costado de carbón
el Banderón americano.
Sucio de sangre el banderón
un yanqui allí, látigo en mano.
Y en la sombría plantación,
donde se muere el corazón,
donde tu voz alzas en vano,
sé que sofoca tu canción
un yanqui allí, látigo en mano.
Sé de la bala en el pulmón,
sé del oscuro barracón,
sé del coraje y la pasión
sé del puñal y la traición.
En una lúgubre prisión
golpeando un viejo cimarrón
un yanqui allí, látigo en mano.
Será tal vez una ilusión
veo rodar el Banderón.
Será tal vez un sueño vano,
y arder al viento tu canción
puesta en el mástil por tu mano
Sé de la bala en el pulmón,
sé del oscuro barracón,
sé del coraje y la pasión
sé del puñal y la traición.
