En los caminos del tiempo viejo

Dejó sus huellas el carretón

Mientras el cielo pintaba nubes

En el espejo del cañadón

En un revuelo de teru-teros

El rancherío se alborotó

Y empieza el canto del trompetero

Porque la posta se divisó

¡Trompetero! ¡trompetero!

El viaje ya se acabó

Hoy cantas la bienvenida

Mañana dirás adiós

La novia te está esperando

Candil de tu soledad

La novia está en el camino

Vara de mimbre y percal

¡Siempre en la cinta de los senderos

De sur a norte, de norte a sur

Cruzando el monte de las corzuelas

O las llanuras del avestruz!

Cuando despiertan las mañanitas

Sobre los juncos del cañadón

Llega el saludo del trompetero

Mitad camino, mitad canción

¡Trompetero! ¡trompetero!

El viaje ya se acabó

La novia está en el camino

Tan triste como un adiós

La noche le dio cariño

La aurora se lo llevó

Y el corazón de la novia

Se va con el carretón

¡Trompetero! ¡trompetero!

¡Vuelve pronto!

A la posta de tu amor
