Prepárame el tente en pie
Ay que yo me voy pa mi conuco
Y dame pa´ca mi tibe
Mi timbito y mi macuto
Por los senderos agrestes
De la campiña cubana
Un guajiro va cantando
En una alegre mañana
Un guajiro va cantando
En una alegre mañana
Prepárame el tente en pie
Ay que yo me voy pa mi conuco
Y dame pa´ca mi tibe
Mi timbito y mi macuto
Por los senderos agrestes
De la campiña cubana
Un guajiro va cantando
En una alegre mañana
Un guajiro va cantando
En una alegre mañana
La rara, la rara
La rara, la rara
La muerte me anda buscando
Pa´que?
Pa llevarme al cementerio
Y cuando me vea tan serio
Me dirá
Eso es jugando, caramba
La rara, la rara
Yo canté con Pie Varó
Y en los montes fui guineo
Yo con la muerte peleo
Sin dar un paso pa tras, óyelo
La rara, la rara
Yo no le temo a la muerte
Y así la enfrenté en el valle
Sin el permiso de Dios
La muerte no mata a nadie
La rara, la rara
Yo temo más a la gente
Que va por la vida hablando
De tanta envidia en la mente
Que la ilusión va matando, caramba
La rara, la rara
La rara, la rara
La rara, la rara
