Te han quitado lo que tienes
Te han robado el pan del día
Te han sacado de tus tierras
Y no parece que termina aquí

Despojado de tu casa
Vas sin rumbo a la ciudad
Sos el hijo de la nada
Sos la vida que se va

Son los niños son los viejos
Son las madres somos todos, caminando
Y no te olvides de esto no no no

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies amor

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies

Ya no se quien es el dueño
De tu vida y de la mía
Solo se que hay un cuento
Que no parece que termina aquí

Como dicen en los diaros
Y como dicen en la tele
Y como dicen en la radio
Que no parece que termina aquí

Son los niños son los viejos
Son las madres somos todos, caminando
Y no te olvides de esto no no no

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies amor

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies por favor

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies amor

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies amor

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies amor

Fíjate bien donde pisas
Fíjate cuando caminas
No vaya ser que una mina
Te desbarate los pies amor

Por que ellos no van a buscarte
Ellos no van a salvarte
Ellos no van ellos no van no no
Y tu no lo vas a creer

Ellos no van a buscarte
Ellos no van a salvarte
Ellos no van ellos no van no no
Y tu no lo vas a creer
