Un relámpago, a lo lejos
Cruzo como puñalada
Y un trueno, tras el reflejo
Rodó en la sombra angustiada
Una carreta cargada
Como un farol titilante
Se va hamacando, cansada
Siempre sendero adelante
Hay ansias de pasar pronto
Del repecho al otro lao
Después, déjelo que llueva
Cuando estemos resguardaos
Colorao, Colorao
Siempre sobón
Colorao. Colorao
Ay, guaycito regalón
Jue pucha, la loma negra
Hoy es como nunca 'e larga
Empezó a chispear; por suerte
Llevo tapada la carga
La seda, el paño, la sarga
La yerba y la medecina
No corren el riesgo
Y menos el pañuelo de mi china
Ya ventió pa' la querencia
El Hosco, y pega un envión
El Colorao, como siempre
Tan pesadazo y sobón
Colorao, Colorao
Siempre sobón
Colorao, Colorao
Ay. Guaycito regalón
Gracias a Dios, que pasamos
Muy a tiempo la cañada
Pues cuando crece es difícil
Salvarse de una volcada
Ya diviso la enramada
Y la luz de mi ranchito
Picaneare al Colorao
Despacito, despacito
Jue pucha, si el Hosco tiene
Más apuro que los dos
Deja que llueva, que el agua
Es la bendición de Dios
Colorao, Colorao
Siempre sobón
Colorao, Colorao
Ay, guaycito regalón
