La yerbecita que el atesora
Juntito al río del Uruguay
Un proletario remansa sola
Que van bajando del Paraguay
Y en la ribera toda cubierta
Forma de lujo
Entona así
Con hojas secas
Y ramas muertas
Cuyo color
Es el verde gris
Laraila la ra laraila la ra
Laraila la ra laraila la ra
En la totora
Que el rancho fuerza
Que congelada que el viento está
Una paloma de la otra orilla
Que pobrecilla quiere volar
Y entre quejidos y entre tormentos
En vil pretende
Con ímpetu
Sus tiernas alas
Cortar los vientos
Que la marea su cobertud
Laraila la ra laraila la ra
La palomita que ya se ha muerto
Quedó enterrada con devoción
En la ribera del triste puerto
Cuyo viajero es el corazón
Y la mortaja que la cubriera
Por vez postrera
Se oscureció
Guardando duelos
Bajo la tierra
Por la paloma que se murió
Laraila la ra laraila la ra
