Rodando por el llano
Va la carreta de lerdo paso;
Vieja carreta que aguanta al raso
Lluvia de invierno, sol de verano.
Con su apagado pucho en la boca
El carretero de un lado avanza,
Y de cuando en cuando toca
El clavo alerta de la picana
La yunta pesada y mansa...
Mientras, vibrante, lanza al viento esta canción:
¿dónde vas, golondrina?
¿dónde vas, picaflor?
Si la ves a mi china
Recordale mi amor...
Van mis bueyes al tranco
Y mi overo es sobón;
Pa' que vuele a mi rancho
Te daré el corazón.
Por el llano se aleja
El carrero cantor,
Del clavel en la oreja
Y del pucho cortón.
La carreta cansina,
Del quebrado rumor,
Con su buey golondrina
Y su buey picaflor...
Mi vida es la carreta,
Que en tanto bache de mala suerte
Va dando tumbos rumbo a la muerte.
Yo, el carretero que no sujeta,
Cruzo los pagos de mi destino
Junto a la huella de mi carreta
Y hago cantando el camino...
¡tanto he sufrido que soy baqueano!
Y al paso del buey maceta
Alegre o triste siempre tengo una canción...
