Canoero del río Arauca
Río Arauca pásame p'al otro lado
Que me viene persiguiendo
El gavilán colorao, gavilán
Tío tío gavilán, tao tao gavilán
Pico amarillo gavilán
Pico rosado gavilán
Si el gavilán se comiera
Se comiera como se come al gana'o
Yo ya lo habría cazado
Al gavilán colorao, gavilán
Tío tío gavilán, tao tao gavilán
Pico amarillo gavilán
Pico rosado gavilán
Muchacha sube a la lancha
Sube a la lancha y trae la carabina
P*a matar al gavilán
Que se comió a la gallina, gavilán
Tío tío gavilán,tao tao gavilán
Pico amarillo gavilán
Pico rosado gavilán
La mujer venezolana,
Venezolana camina de mediola'o
Cuando la viene persiguiendo
El gavilán colorao, gavilán
Tío tío gavilán, tao tao gavilán
Pico amarillo gavilán
Pico rosado gavilán
