(Son guajiro)
Cantar por andar cantando
no es mi forma de cantar,
mi canto es camino y ando,
sé que he de llegar, cantando…
Los pies que me van llevando
son parte de mi canción,
mi carne es mi tierra andando
y en mi corazón, cantando…
Como barco navegando
con su vela y su timón,
viento del pueblo viajando,
así es mi canción, cantando…
Hubo un tiempo, no sé cuándo,
que yo no era un mal cantor,
el pueblo me fue empujando
y hoy canto mejor, pensando...
Todo lo que voy mirando,
entre la tierra y el sol,
es obra del hombre y ando
pensando quién soy, cantando…
Cantar por andar cantando
no habré de cantar,
mi canto es camino y ando,
sé que he de llegar, cantando…
