(zamba)
Una voz bella, ¡ quién la tuviera ¡,
para cantarte toda la vida,
pero mi estrella me dio este acento,
y así te siento, tierra querida.
Pero mi estrella me dio este acento,
y así te siento, tierra querida.
Como un guijarro que se despeña,
vaga mi sombra, sueño y herida.
Yo soy arisco, como tus breñas,
y así te canto, tierra querida.
Yo soy arisco, como tus breñas,
y así te canto, tierra querida.
Andaré por los cerros,
selvas y llanos, toda la vida,
arrimándole coplas
a tu esperanza, tierra querida.
Arrimándole coplas
a tu esperanza, tierra querida.
Me dan sus fuegos, cálidos zondas,
me dan sus fuerzas, bravos pamperos,
y en el silencio de las quebradas,
vaga la sombra, de mis abuelos.
Y en el silencio de las quebradas,
vaga la sombra, de mis abuelos.
Lunas me vieron por esos cerros,
y en las llanuras anochecidas,
buscando el alma de tus paisajes,
para cantarte, tierra querida.
Buscando el alma de tus paisajes,
para cantarte, tierra querida.
Andaré por los cerros, selvas y llanos,
toda la vida,
arrimándole coplas
a tu esperanza, tierra querida.
Arrimándole coplas
a tu esperanza, tierra querida.
