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.
