Santa Leoncia de Farfán,

de la Quebrada de Reyes,

baja a las carpas de Yala

con setenta años que tiene.

La harina del Carnaval

le pensamienta las sienes

cuando sobre el mujerío

su canto finito crece.

(Estribillo)

Alegre como pocas

doña Santa se amanece,

el manantial de sus coplas va

por senderos viejos,

el manantial de sus coplas va

despenando su soledad.

No hay una pena de amor

que por su boca no queme

ni hay en la carpa baguala

que por ella no se queje.

La chicha al amanecer

en los ojos se le duerme

hasta que un golpe de caja

cantando la reverdece.
