En un ranchito de totora
Bajo la sombra de los sauzales
Vive una prenda tentadora
Que derramando a raudales
Con su voz encantadora
Se parece a los zorzales
Cuentan que una vez la luna
Por verla se apareció
Y que viéndola tan bella
De rabia palideció
Si mi china cierra los ojos
Parece alumbrar menos el día
Y al entreabrir sus labios rojos
Me desata la alegría
Que poniéndome de hinojos
Mi vida entera daría
Cuentan que una vez la luna
Por verla se apareció
Y que viéndola tan bella
De rabia palideció
En el palenque de su rancho
Até las riendas del parejero
Y yo voy poniéndome tan ancho
Que al pasar por el sendero
Por todas partes me engancho
Con las flores de su alero
Cuentan que una vez la luna
Por verla se apareció
Y que viéndola tan bella
De rabia palideció
