Paisaje de colalao
Ríos, montes y sierras
(Y un ranchito en la tierra
Mitad de adobe, mitad quinchao)
Brisa con suave fragancia
De los aromos en flor
(Y el canto del trovador
A la china de la estancia.) bis
Cuando me fui, ¡ay de mí!
Las aves que me escuchaban
(Juntas conmigo lloraban, vidita
Al verme llorar por ti)
Ranchito del colalao
Perdidito entre las tunas
(Donde se baila la zamba, vidita
Bajo la luz de la Luna)
Ranchito del colalao
Un río te pasa cerca
(Llevando a tierras lejanas, vidita
Mensajes de árbol y piedra)
Ranchito del colalao
Dónde quedó mi canción
(Con una tierna promesa, vidita
Colgada de aquel horcón)
