Why - did he go away,
If he'd only stayed,
With us.
Why - did they hurt him so,
Why did he have to go,
Go - way.
Refrain:
El Cantor
He'll live for evermore,
For we shall hold his banner high
In the wind
As if he'd always been
Smiling, urging us always on.
For I know El Cantor
He'll live for evermore,
For we shall sing his songs so clear,
And his melodies
Are our memories
Of his faith
And his love.
