Niña, cuando yo muera
No llores sobre mi tumba
Toca sones alegres, mi vida
Cántame La Sandunga
Toca el Bejuco de Oro
La flor de todos los sones
Canta La Martiniana, mi vida
Que alegra los corazones
No me llores, no, no me llores no
Porque si lloras yo peno
En cambio si tú me cantas, mi vida
Yo siempre vivo, yo nunca muero
Si quieres que no te olvide
Si quieres que te recuerde
Toca sones alegres, mi vida
Música que no muere
No me llores, no, no me llores no
Porque si lloras yo peno
En cambio si tú me cantas, mi vida
Yo siempre vivo, yo nunca muero
