Lyrics
Él sabe que tiene para largo rato,
la sentencia en fija lo va a hacer sonar,
así -entre cabrero, sumiso y amargo-
la luz de la aurora lo va a saludar.

Quisiera que alguno pudiera escucharlo
en esa elocuencia que las penas dan,
y ver si es humano querer condenarlo
por haber robado... ¡un cacho de pan!...

Sus pibes no lloran por llorar,
ni piden masitas,
ni chiches, ni dulces... ¡Señor!...
Sus pibes se mueren de frío
y lloran, habrientos de pan...
La abuela se queja de dolor,
doliente reproche que ofende a su hombría.
También su mujer,
escuálida y flaca,
con una mirada
toda la tragedia le ha dado a entender.

¿Trabajar?... ¿En dónde?... Extender la mano
pididendo al que pasa limosna, ¿por qué?
Recibir la afrenta de un ¡perdone, hermano!
Él, que es fuerte y tiene valor y altivez.

Se durmieron todos, cachó la barreta,
se puso la gorra resuelto a robar...
¡Un vidrio, unos gritos! ¡Auxilio!... ¡Carreras!...
Un hombre que llora y un cacho de pan...
English translation
He knows he has a long time,
the fixed sentence is going to make him sound,
so - between goatherd, submissive and bitter -
the light of dawn will greet him.

I wish someone could hear it
in that eloquence that sorrows give,
and see if it is human to want to condemn him
for having stolen... a piece of bread!....

His children do not cry for crying's sake,
nor do they ask for pastries,
nor chiches, nor sweets... Lord!...
Your children are dying of cold
and cry, hungry for bread...
The grandmother complains in pain,
a painful reproach that offends his manhood.
So does his wife,
emaciated and skinny,
with a glance
all the tragedy has given him to understand.

To work?... Where?.... Extending your hand
begging the passer-by for what?
To receive the affront of an "Excuse me, brother!
He, who is strong and has courage and haughtiness.

They all fell asleep, he caught the bar,
he put on his cap, determined to steal...
A glass, some shouting! Help!... Runs!...
A man crying and a piece of bread...

The Cabeceo
