Tengo que hacer un rosario
con tus dientes de marfil
para que pueda besarlo
cuando esté lejos de ti
sobre sus cuentas divinas
hechas de nardo y jazmín
rezaré pá que me ampare
aquella que está en San Gil
Y adiós mi España querida
dentro de mi alma
te llevo metida
y aunque soy un emigrante
jamás en la vida
yo podré olvidarte
Cuando salí de mi tierra
volví la cara llorando
porque lo que más quería
atrás me lo iba dejando
llevaba por compañera
a mi Virgen de San Gil
un recuerdo y una pena
y un rosario de marfil
Y adiós mi España querida
dentro de mi alma
te llevo metida,
y aunque soy un emigrante
jamás en la vida
yo podré olvidarte
Yo soy un pobre emigrante
y traigo a esta tierra extraña
y en mi pecho un estandarte
con los colores de España
con mi patria y con mi novia
y mi Virgen de San Gil
y mi rosario de cuentas
yo me quisiera morir
