Said Dolores
When shadows are cast on our spirit,
And they try to strike fear in our heart,
Remember the power within us all,
To light our own way from the start,
And pave a vision forward,
With the strength of collective will,
To meet the needs of our children,
By shining our light on Capitol Hill,
"Si se puede," said Dolores,
Long before Obama,
But her fortitude and independence,
Could be a credit to her mama,
Who owned a large hotel,
In the Central California Valley,
Where she sheltered farm workers,
When they were short on food and money,
Imagine the day when all children walk,
Without holes in their shoes,
Imagine the day the workers sing,
When songs of joy resolve the Blues,
Si se puede, si se puede,
Said Dolores, si se puede,
Long before Obama,
Yes we can!
(repeat)
At home, church, and at school,
She was quick to volunteer,
A Girl Scout and a majorette,
To Dolores it was clear,
Change can only come,
When we look to our own hand,
And claim the value,
That we bring to this land,
Dolores, Larry, and Cesar,
Formed the U.F.W.,
With the help of many others,
Soon the labor movement grew,
As people began to realize,
With the food upon their table,
There were countless workers,
Hidden behind each label,
Imagine the day when all children walk,
Without holes in their shoes,
Imagine the day the workers sing,
When songs of joy resolve the Blues,
Si se puede, si se puede,
Said Dolores, si se puede,
Long before Obama,
Yes we can!
(repeat)

Cerca del Mar
Cerca del mar
yo me enamoré
y como la luna,
la brisa y la espuma
también te besé.
La noche azul,
noche tropical
comprendió mis penas
y entre sus arenas
yo pude soñar.
El mar nos arrulló
pensando en nuestro amor.
Y al despertar de aquella ilusión
un beso nos dimos y en el beso unimos
tu amor y mi amor.
El mar nos arrulló
pensando en nuestro amor.
Y al despertar de aquella ilusión
un beso nos dimos y en el beso unimos
tu amor y mi amor,
tu amor y mi amor.
La Raspa
Tu ma, tu ma, tu ma,
tu máquina de coser.
La tu, la tu, la tu,
la tuya es de tejer. (2x)
Ay mamá no voy pa' la escuela
porque tengo dolor de muela.
Ay papá no voy pa'l salón
porque tengo sarampión.
Los Barandales del Puente
Los barandales del puente
se estremecen cuando paso,
morena mía dame un abrazo.
Dame tu mano morena
para subir al tranvía
que está cayendo la nieve fría.
Si está cayendo que caiga
y asómate a tu ventana,
morena mía, dueña de mi alma.
De todas a ti te quiero
de las demás a ninguna,
morena mía, luz de la luna.
De todas a ti te quiero,
de las demás no hago caso,
morena mía dame un abrazo.
Ya con ésta me despido
cortando flores de azahares,
aquí terminan los barandales.
No Volveré
Cuando lejos me encuentre de tí
cuando quieras que esté yo contigo
no hallarás ni un recuerdo de mi
ni tendrás más amores conmigo.
Yo te juro que no volveré
aunque me haga pedazos la vida
si una vez con locura te amé
ya de mi alma estarás despedida.
No volveré te lo juro por Dios que me mira
te lo digo llorando de rabia, no volveré.
No pararé hasta ver que mi llanto ha formado
un arroyo de olvido anegado,
donde yo tu recuerdo ahogaré.
Fuimos nubes que el viento apartó,
fuimos piedras que siempre chocamos,
gotas de agua que el sol resecó,
borracheras que no terminamos.
En el tren de la ausencia me voy,
mi boleto no tiene regreso
lo que tengas de mi te lo doy
pero no te devuelvo tus besos.
No volveré te lo juro por Dios que me mira
te lo digo llorando de rabia, no volveré.
No pararé hasta ver que mi llanto ha formado
un arroyo de olvido anegado,
donde yo tu recuerdo ahogaré.
