Aquí viene el muerto de Marigüitar
cuatro pescadores lo van a enterrar
cuatro pescadores lo van a enterrar
aquí viene el muerto de Marigüitar.
Nació en un puerto, murió en el mar
y se llamaba Juan Salazar.
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar
cantando anoche se dio a la mar.
Partió cantando y al aclarar
volvía muerto Juan Salazar.
Lo amortajaron los del lugar
con su franela de parrandear.
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar,
cantando anoche se dio a la mar.
Y ya lo llevan a sepultar
en una caja sin cepillar.
Muda la gente lo ve pasar
luego se quedan mirando el mar.
Como un abrazo sin terminar
quedan los remos en altamar.
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar
cantando anoche se dio a la mar.
