(Voy llevando los barrenos al socavón)
Mano fuerte y vida triste, minero soy, minero soy
Golpeando piedras y piedras de Sol a Sol, de Sol a Sol
Me duele el pan que me gano, minero soy, minero soy
Me duele el pan que me gano, minero soy, minero soy
(Pobrecitos los mineros, qué buenos muchachos son)
Pero tienen la desgracia de morir sin confesión
De morir sin confesión
(Me duele el pan que me gano, minero soy)
Ya vendrán tiempos mejores
Ya vendrán tiempos mejores
Ya vendrán tiempos mejores, minero soy, minero soy
Voy llevando los barrenos al socavón
Mano fuerte y vida triste, minero soy
Ya vendrán tiempos mejores, minero soy
Me duele el pan que me gano, minero soy
Minero soy, minero soy
