La Finadita

En Santiago del Estero
Existe una vieja costumbre
Dar responso en los camposantos
Casi siempre lo hace un ciego violinista
Acompañado por un niño al bombo
Con esta chacarera: La finadita
Por medio los montes vengo
Lleno de canto y dulzura
Rogando por los que sufren
De tormentos y amargura
Me llaman la finadita
Porque nací en camposanto
Porque nací entre los muertos
Entre tristezas y llanto
Finadita, finadita y alabanza sollozada
Quisiera soñarme muerto para sentirte cantada
Larairai larairalaira larairarai lailailaira
Quisiera soñarme muerto para sentirte cantada
Cantor y cadencia soy
Suave perfume de flor
Consuela que te consuela
Las almas de tu dolor
Cantores viejos te entonen
Con la más santa emoción
Rogando a Dios que no sufran
Los que merecen perdón
Finadita, finadita y alabanza sollozada
Quisiera sentirme muerto para sentirte cantada
Larairai larairalaira larairarai lailailaira
Quisiera soñarme muerto para sentirte cantada
