Vidalita acordate de José Artigas
Y endulzate la boca, cuando lo digas
A la huella de un siglo que otros borraron
Mintiendo los martirios del traicionado
A la huella vieja, vidalita
Que te estoy buscando
Junto a Lavalleja, vidalita
Yo quiero oírte andando
A la huella, primero, de José Artigas
Y sácate el sombrero, cuando lo digas
Lararailaira, lararairá
Y sácate el sombrero, cuando lo digas
Vidalita orientala, lejana y pura
A la patria cantala sin amargura
No hay más huella, canejo, que la de Artigas
Y júgate el pellejo, cuando la sigas
Patria sola y patria, vidalita
Patria sola y muda
Rompé tu silencio, vidalita
Vamos en tu ayuda
En tu ayuda, ¡ay paisanos!, monten baguales
Vamos mano con mano, los orientales
Lararairara, lailararará
Vamos mano con mano, los orientales
