(Malagueña)
Pusieron preso a tu marí'o * Guillermina,
y se lo llevaron para una fuerte prisión,
y como Guillermina quería tanto a su marí'o,*
fue a la cárcel a cantarle una canción.
Murió mi madre, yo 'staba ausente,
yo ausente estaba, yo, yo no la vi,
pero me dijo mi padre que, en su agonía de muerte,**
alzó su mano y me bendijo a mí.
Niña del campo que cortas flores
de nomeolvides y de azahar,
corta una rosa de dos colores
para mi amante que está al llegar.
Niña que bordas la blanca tela,
niña que tejes en tu telar,
bórdame el mapa de Venezuela***
y un pañuelito para llorar.
* Alfredo Zitarrosa dice "marido".
** Alfredo Zitarrosa dice "Murió mi madre, yo estaba ausente, / yo ausente estaba, yo no la vi, / pero dice mi padre que, en agonía de muerte".
*** Alfredo Zitarrosa dice "bórdame el mapa de nuestra tierra".
