Como las aves tienen su nido
Yo tengo un rancho, de e' Dios
Es un palacio para cumplirlo
Es un arroyo murmurador
Una mañana de crudo invierno
Aquel palacio se derrumbó
Y desde entonces tengo un infierno
Donde tenía mi corazón
Los trovadores del arroyuelo
Rompen sus nidos de tanto andar
Todos se alejan y al mismo cielo
La entristeció la soledad
Ella es hermosa de carne suave
Como la pluma de la torcaz
Una chinita como las aves
Que hay en las selvas del Paraná
Los ruiseñores me traen sus notas
Cuando ella ríe, para escuchar
Esa cascada de copas rotas
Sobre la cuerda de un albaiyal
Se ve pintado con suave tono
Aquel paisano, si alguien la ve
Pueden decirle que la perdono
Que está perdida por su querer
Como las aves tienen su nido
Yo tengo un rancho bien y Dios
Algún palacio para cumplirlo
Tengo una rosa por corazón
Una mañana de frío invierno aquel palacio
Aquel palacio se derrumbó
Y desde entonces tengo un infierno
Donde tenía mi corazón
