Cuando salí del pago
Le dije adiós con la mano
Y se quedó mama vieja
Muy triste, en la puerta 'el rancho
Ella me dio el permiso
Que yo pagué con mil besos
Y enderecé por la senda
Con mi bagaje de sueños
¡Mama vieja!: Yo le canto, desde aquí
Esta zamba, que una vez le prometí
Zambita ha'I ser la primera
Pa' que se acuerde de mí
Aunque yo estoy muy lejos
Del pago donde he nacido
Le juro, mi mama vieja
Que yo de usted no me olvido
Yo sé que, por las noches
Desde una estrella me mira
Usted se fue para el cielo
Y mi alma llora y suspira
¡Mama vieja!: Yo le canto, desde aquí
Esta zamba, que una vez le prometí
Zambita 'I ser la primera
Pa' que se acuerde de mí
Recitado
Honda es la pena, mi mama vieja
'E saberla lejos y grande es
El consuelo, cantan
