(Zamba)
Porque quiero pedirte
que me comprendas mi linda bandeña
desde el alba aqui estoy
esperando que vinieras.
He levantado un rancho
en la loma alta, en la loma alta:
jaula de este cantor,
que por tus amores canta.
En un horcón se hamacan
todas mis esperanzas
y esperándote estoy
mi linda paloma blanca.
En tus ojitos claros
quiero mirarme, quiero mirarme,
para en sus fondos ver
y saber si es que has de amarme.
Mi tristeza al no verte;
nada me alegra ¡ay mi bandeña!
En cambio cuando estás,
se me hacen flores las penas.
