Ay sandunga, sandunga mamá por Dios
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón
Ay sandunga, sandunga mamá por Dios
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón
Antenoche fui a tu casa
Tres golpes le di al candado
Tú no sirves para amores
Tienes el sueño pesado
Ay sandunga, sandunga mamá por Dios
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón
Me ofreciste acompañarme
Desde la iglesia a mi choza
Pero como no llegabas
Tuve que venirme sola
Ay sandunga, sandunga mamá por Dios
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón
A orillas del papaloapan
Me estaba bañando ayer
Pasaste por las orillas
Y no me quisiste ver
Ay sandunga, sandunga mamá por Dios
Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón
