En mi pago hay una sierra
En mi pago hay una sierra que no es sierra sin embargo
Sino que es un cerro largo que le da nombre a mi tierra
Cuentan que su historia encierra una leyenda de amor
De india con español, y un coraje que lo enfrenta
Que pelea, muere sin queja, de frente al conquistador
Era una tribu salvaje que allí tenía su querencia
Que amaba la independencia que le daba su coraje
En medio de aquel indiaje una indiecita vivía
Linda, valiente, bravìa, dulce como lechiguana
Una virgen arachana, con calor, de mediodia
La india se enamoro
La india se enamoro, su inocencia de torcaza
Se encandilo en la coraza de un oficial español
Y de un lanzasomurio del cacique enfurecido
Porque amaba a un enemigo, de su raza y de su gente
La tierra, gimio doliente, al ver su cuerpo caìdo
Hoy sigue tendida allí, sumida en hondo letargo
Su cuerpo es el cerro largo, su pecho el nacunaumbì
Por eso la quiero así, porque es salvaje y es tierna
Porque ella su historia encierra, puro coraje y bravura
Pura inocencia y dulzura, virgen india de mi tierra
