Cuando naciste tú, caña de agosto,
Las rosas y las violetas nacían
Y en el centro, desde una rama de plata fina
Brotaban manzanas plateadas.
Hay un clavel en lo alto de la caña
Que a trescientas millas esparce su perfume
La gente que lo ve se pregunta
De donde nace una flor tan galana.
Te he traído una copa preciosa
Llena de canciones y de cien rosas.
Un ángel anoche me ha llamado
Para ver de nuevo esta planta perfumada.
Quiero escribirle una carta al sol
Para que en este día no se esconda
Y quiero regalarle un girasol
Lindo es cantar por donde gira y va.
La luna con el sol son parientes
Han levantado sus casas vecinas
Y un jardín de estrellas relucientes
Donde el amor prepara las almohadas.
Por donde canta y no descansa
Y gira y canta lirio y rosa
Quiero hacerle un girasol
Gira la abeja en torno a la flor
Que el sol no se pusiera nunca
Por donde canta y gira y va
Que el sol no se pusiera mañana
Y nazcan lirios y rosas y violetas.
Aleluya, aleluya.
