(Huella)
Yo conozco un paisano y un arbolito
que parecen hermanos por lo igualitos:
los dos miran al frente, igual camino,
los dos saben que tienen igual destino.
Larailairailala, larailaraila,
los dos miran al frente, igual camino.
Encimados al cerro y al horizonte,
uno mira pa'l pueblo y el otro al monte,
y hasta en cosa 'e trabajo se les merecen:
éste agarra el arado y aquél florece.
Larailairailala, larailaraila,
y hasta en cosa 'e trabajo se les merecen.
Los dos tuvieron nido, los dos quedaron
solos con sus espinas, los dos callaron.
Si serían compañeros estos dos criollos,
que uno fue al trafoguero y el otro al hoyo.
Larailairailala, larailaraila,
si serían compañeros estos dos criollos.
