Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco
Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco
Por culpa de ti Bernabé
pero la fiesta ya se echó a perder
tú no quieres bailar, tú no quieres gozar
ey, deja que los negros bailen al son
Acuérdate bien Bernabé
la fiesta de casa 'e Manuel
te pusiste a pelear, no quisiste bailar
y toda la gente se fue del bongó, oye!
Acuérdate bien Bernabé
tú no bailas la bembé
(Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco)
Bernabé, Bernabé,
Vente acá al barranco a gozar
(Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco)
Canto a la raza, raza de bronce
raza jarocha, que el sol quemó
a los que sufren, a los que loran
a los que esperan, les canto yo
Alma de jarocha que nació morena,
calle que se mueve con vaivén, deja marcas
tarde perfumada con besos de arena
tarde que se quejan, paisajes de nácar
Boca donde gime la queja doliente
de toda una raza llena de amarguras
alma de jarocha que nació valiente
para sufrir toda desventura
