Entre las nubes del cielo
Hay un lugar escondido
Es el valor de mi gente
Es el valor que he perdido
En la polaca del pueblo
Chistes que llama a la suerte
Dios nos escoje el destino
Y a suahijadito la muerte
En el camino pal? norte
Un tecolote me hablo
Me dijo muchacho de nube
Por donde dejaste tu amor
Le dije que dicen los viejos
Y yo no lo voy a negar
No pidas al santo un milagr
Tu mismo te tienes que armar
Mi amor lo deje en las tres cruces
Me arme con sombrero y guitarra
Prometi el 24 de Junio
Volver a la tierra de mi alma
El dia de San Juan Bautista
Yo voy a mirar a mi amor
Una troque pintada de roja
Un coyote que me haga un favor
Le rezo al San Juan de mi tierra
Le rezo que tenga valor
Si llego a caer en el norte
Que manden mi cuerpo en su honor
Si llego a caer en el norte
Que manden mi cuerpo en su honor
