Hermanao con los chañares
Vivo en el monte, ¡palomitay!
(Donde se lastima el viento
Con las espinas del garabatal)
Cuando la noche es oscura
Torean los perros cerca el corral
(Seguro que es sacha puma
Por ahí cerquita nomás ha'i rondar)
Guitarra dame tu acento
Te doy mi copla, soy montaraz,
(Ruda es mi mano de hachero
Pero pa'l gasto me ha'i servir nomás)
Detrás de los altos molles
Por donde nadie quiere pasar
(Vive la madre del monte
En la salamanca del Tata Zupay)
A noche por la quebrada
Vuelta a mi rancho, ¡palomitay!
(Me dijo un verso la luna
Compadecida de mi soledad)
Guitarra dame tu acento
Te doy mi copla, soy montaraz,
(Ruda es mi mano de hachero
Pero pa'l gasto me ha'i servir nomás)
