Cabellos negros, los ojos
azules, y los labios
muy rojos tenia
la Uruguayita Lucia,
la flor del pago 'e Florida.
Hasta los gauchos más fieros
eternos matreros
mas mansos se hacian.
Sus ojazos parecian
azul del cielo al mirar.
Ningun gaucho jamás
pudo alcanzar
el corazón de Lucia.
Hasta que al pago llego un dia
un gaucho que naide conocia.
Buen payador y buen mozo
canto con voz lastimera.
El gaucho le pidio el corazón,
y ella le dio el alma entera.
Fueron felices sus amores
jamás los sinsabores
interrumpio el idilio.
Juntas soñaron sus almitas
cual blancas palomitas
en un rincon del nido.
Cuando se asoma el horizonte
se escucha tras el monte
como un suave murmullo.
Canta la tierna y fiel pareja,
de amores son sus quejas,
idilios de placer.
Pero la patria lo llama
su hijo reclama
y lo entrega a la gloria.
Junto al clarin de Víctoria
también se escucha una queja.
...Es que troncho Lavalleja
a la dulce pareja
el idilio de un dia.
...Hoy ya no canta Lucia,
...su payador no volvio.
