I worked the fields my father worked,

From dawn until setting sun.

My calloused hands and wind-burned face,
F E
Have marked me as a man.
Chorus 1:
C
Who has no voice,
G
No rights, no hope,
F E
No place to call his own.
Am Am/G
And the skeletons,
F E Am
Of Quinto call me home.
Bridge 1:
Dm
The silver tentacles,
Of the moon's rays,

Haunt me,

The deathly silence,
Of the mountains,
E
Chills me to the bone.
Am Am/G
And the skeletons,
F E Am
Of Quinto call me home.
Verse 2:
Am Am/G
If I lived to be a hundred,
F E
I won't know me Papa's plight.
Am Am/G
The cruelty of the master's whip,

The horrors of the night.

(Spanish):
Un Oceano de verguenza,
Incita nuestros recuerdos,
Las estranguladas,
Pesadillas de muerte.
Me estremecen hasta los huesos,
Y los esqueleetos de Quinto,
Me llaman a mi morada.
Verse 3:
Am
I know that somehow,
Am/G
In the world,

The workers must be free.

The toil and sweat and tyranny,

The fascist jeu d'es-prit.

Will only serve,
G
To keep us down,
F E
And aid the bourgeoi-sie.
Am Am/G
And the skeletons,
F E Am
Of Quinto call me home.
