Tuve un amigo querido
Que murió en Ñancahuazú
Su tumba no la encontraron
(Porque no le han puesto cruz)
No importa que no la tenga
Lo mismo la hemos de hallar
Multiplicada en el aire
(Donde está la libertad)
Crece la mata en la sierra
Crece el árbol más allá
En los barrancos profundos
(El río canta y se va)
Pájaros de tres colores
Pasan en vuelo fugaz
La mariposa y el cóndor
(Todos lo quieren nombrar)
Tumba perdida en la sierra
Jamás se podrá olvidar
En las guitarras del pueblo
(Se convierte en madrigal)
Tuve un amigo querido
Que murió en Ñancahuazú
Su tumba no la encontraron
(Porque no le han puesto cruz)
