Defiendo mi tierra
de noche y de día.
Yo defiendo mi tierra
porque es mía, porque es mía.
La defiendo de noche,
la defiendo de día.
De día me ayuda el viento,
de noche las tres Marías.
Vi cruzar por la pampa,
llorando, llorando,
la mujer del minero,
sus pies sangrando.
¿Por qué llorará este pueblo?
voy preguntando.
Si yo salgo a la pampa
voy a cantar:
No queremos extraños
que vengan a quitar
lo que nos da la tierra,
nuestra tranquilidad.
Yo defiendo mi tierra
porque quiero, porque quiero,
secar el triste llanto
de la mujer del pueblo.
Quiero que no haya sombras
en el rostro minero.
