Guitarrita e’pobre
Para cantar lo que siento
Yo no preciso voz
Me escondo guitarra adentro
Y allí converso con Dios
La zamba, para ser zamba
Es pañuelo y es adiós
Y es zamba de la luna y rancho
Si la baila el corazón
Si yo tuviera un amor
Ay, qué zamba cantaría
Con magia de medianoche
Con lujos de mediodía
Apenitas si es guitarra
La guitarrita del pobre
Buscando coplas de plata
Hallando coplas de cobre
Desde la hondura del monte
El bombo llamando está
Y el corazón padeciendo
Y el canto se va, y se va
