(Zamba)
Como el río que pasa y no vuelve
como el camino que lejos se pierde
también mi vida se ha de perder
ay mi Salta querida
ya nunca más te voy a volver a ver.
Siento que mi vida se va apagando
lejos estoy de tus montes
del rancho en que yo he vivido de chango
todo está lejos de mí,
quisiera contigo poderme reunir.
Cobíjame en tus entrañas
tierra salteña porque...
quiero morir en tu suelo
sentirme yo dueño de tu soledad.
Cuando te nombro mi Salta querida
siento en mi pecho un profundo dolor
de saber que ya jamás he de verte
moriré sin tu adiós
ay tierra salteña, pa´siempre me voy.
Sobre mi espalda ya pesan los años
del duro andar por los campos
a ti te canto tierra norteña
esta tu canción
con mi alma salteña de chango cantor.
