Allá, junto a la Riviera
Un tano alegre vivía
Laburando noche y día
Junto con su compañera
Y del riachuelo al rumor
Eran felices los grullos
Arrullados de murmullos
Engrupidos en su amor
Y dicen las comadres
Paseando junto al río
Los cosos de fugaron
Sul pícolo navío
Más, como no volvieron
Y el tiempo transcurrió
Las gentes se dijeron
El pícolo se hundió
Porque un compadre cabrero
A la tana se afilaba
De bueno la trabajaba
Con el cuento del te quiero
Y como el hombre era bueno
Y ella joven y coqueta
Una noche el muy trompeta
Al tano se la espiantó
Y dicen las comadres
Paseando junto al río
Los cosos de fugaron
Sul pícolo navío
Más, como no volvieron
Y el tiempo transcurrió
Las gentes se dijeron
El pícolo se hundió
