El Arriero Va

En las arenas bailan los remolinos
El sol juega en el brillo del pedregal
Y prendido a la magia de los caminos
El arriero va, el arriero va
Es bandera de niebla su poncho al viento
Lo saludan las flautas del pajonal
Y animando a la tropa por esos cerros
El arriero va, el arriero va
Las penas y las vaquitas
Se van por la misma senda
Las penas y las vaquitas
Se van por la misma senda
Las penas son de nosotros
Las vaquitas son ajenas
Las penas son de nosotros
Las vaquitas son ajenas
Un degüello de soles muestra la tarde
Se han dormido las luces del pedregal
Y animando a la tropa, dale que dale
El arriero va, el arriero va
Amalaya la noche traiga un recuerdo
Que haga menos pesada la soledad
Como sombra en la sombra por esos cerros
El arriero va, el arriero va
Las penas y las vaquitas
Se van por la misma senda
Las penas y las vaquitas
Se van por la misma senda
Las penas son de nosotros
Las vaquitas son ajenas
Las penas son de nosotros
Las vaquitas son ajenas
Y prendido a la magia de los caminos
El arriero va, el arriero va
