En lo mucho que he rodao
Por cerros, pampas y montes
Me han conversado los caminos
Con sus profundas razones
Consejos tienen las sendas
Verdades los callejones
Cuanto más largo el camino
Más hondas son sus lecciones
Leña seca y ardedora
Siempre se debe encender
Fogón de muy buena brasa
Si es un gusto verlo arder
Cuidau con la leña verde
Que el humo te ha de envolver
Se te hai gastar el yesquero
Sin que la puedas prender
Los hombres van por la vida
Cada cual con su horizonte
Unos con rumbo seguro
Y otros p'ande el viento sople
Unos son pura humadera
Verdes leñitas del monte
Y otros quemando sus sueños
En los callados fogones
Leña seca y ardedora
Siempre se debe encender
Fogón de muy buena brasa
Si es un gusto verlo arder
Cuidau con la leña verde
Que el humo te ha de envolver
Se te hai gastar el yesquero
Sin que la puedas prender
