Ya no me cantes cigarra
Que acabe tu sonsonete
Que tu canto aquí en el alma
Como un puñal se me mete
Sabiendo que cuando cantas
Pregonando vas tu muerte
Marinero, marinero
Dime si es verdad que sabes
Porque distinguir no puedo
Si en el fondo de los mares
Hay otro color más negro
Que el color de mis pesares
¡Ay, la-a-a-a-a!
¡Ay la-ra-re-e-e-e!
¡Ay la-ra-ra-a-a-a-a!
Hay otro color más negro
Que el color de mis pesares
Un palomito al volar
Que llevaba el pecho herido
Ya casi para llegar
Me dijo muy afligido
Ya me canse de buscar
Un amor correspondido
Bajo la sombra de un árbol
Y al compas de mi guitarra
Canto alegre este huapango
Porque la vida se acaba
Y quiero morir cantando
Como muere la cigarra
¡Ay, la-a-a-a!
¡Ay la-ra-ra-a-a!
¡Ay la-ra-r-e-e-e!
Y quiero morir cantando
Como muere la cigarra
