SAN BENITO DE PALERMO lyrics

LYRICS: Carlos Angel Pesce
MUSIC: Juan Francisco Noli

San Benito de Palermo
por la Virgen y el Señor,
pedile a Don Juan Manuel
que me salve de este horror,
San Benito de Palermo
ayudame por favor,
que ya me llevan para el banquillo
a los redobles del tambor.
Ya están, Señor...
de frente los Mazorqueros
que me van a fusilar,
vendrá mi amor?
a darme el adiós postrero
en mi triste agonizar.
San Benito de Palermo
ya no tengo salvación,
se oye el toque del clarín
y está listo el pelotón,
San Benito de Palermo
muero por la libertad,
y ya que nadie escuchó mi ruego,
que me fusilen sin piedad.
