Vieja mocha compañera
De tantas generaciones
Hambre de los barracones
Amargura azucarera
Suena en tu canto de metal
Copos de acero
Que ya la caña y el sembral
Son del obrero
Con rabia brilló tu acero
Allá en los cañaverales
Esclava de los sembrales
Esclava como el obrero
Suena en tu canto de metal
Copos de acero
Que ya la caña y el sembral
Son del obrero
Ya tu acero no es castigo
Ya no es maldición tu acero
Hoy tu acero es compañero
Es compañero y amigo
Hoy me parece que entiendes
En el metal de tu entraña
El destino de la caña
Que trazó Jesús Meléndez
Suena en tu canto de metal
Copos de acero
Que ya la caña y el sembral
Son del obrero
Que resuene en tus metales
En la faena del corte
Que ya no hay lobos del norte
Sobre los cañaverales
Suena en tu canto de metal
Copos de acero
