Sale, loco de contento
Con su cargamento para la ciudad, ay, para la ciudad.
Lleva en su pensamiento todo un mundo llego de felicidad, ay, de felicidad.
Piensa en remediar la situación
De su hogar que es toda su ilusión, si.
Que alegre el jibarito va diciendo así, pensando así, cantando así por el camino.
Si yo vendo la garga mi dios querido, un traje a mi viejita voy a comprar.
Que alegre tambien su yegua va a presentir que su cantar es todo un himno de alegria,
En eso le sorprende la luz del día y llegan al mercado de la ciudad.
Pasa la mañana entera, sin que nadie quiera su carga comprar, ay, su carga comprar.
Todo, todo esta desierto y el pueblo esta muerto de necesidad, ay, de necesidad.
Se oyen los lamentos por doquier, de su desdichada borinques, si.
Que triste el jibarillo
