Yo soy la Pájara Pinta,
viuda del Pájaro Pintón.
Mi marido era muy alegre
y un cazador me lo mató
con una escopetita verde
el día de San Borombón.
Una bala le mató el canto
-y era tan linda su canción-,
la segunda le mató el vuelo,
y la tercera el corazón.
Ay ay la escopetita verde,
ay ay mi marido Pintón.
Si al oírme se ponen tristes
a todos les pido perdón.
Ya no puedo cantar alegre
ni sentadita en el limón
como antes cuando con el pico
cortaba la rama y la flor.
Yo soy la Pájara Pinta,
si alguien pregunta dónde estoy
le dirán que me vieron sola
y sentadita en un rincón
llorando de melancolía
por culpa de aquel cazador.
Al que mata a los pajarillos
le brotará en el corazón
una bala de hielo negro
y un remolino de dolor.
Ay ay la escopetita verde,
ay ay mi marido Pintón.
