Mi mama sabía decirme
Recuerdo cuando era chango
Usted se acuesta la siesta
No vayas a andar hondeando
Ahí nomás ya me ordenaba
Que algo en el suelo tirara
Y debajito el alero
En un cuerito siesteara
Bajo el sopor de la siesta
Todo en silencio quedaba
Y con los chango pa'l monte
En punta I' pie me escapaba
Qué lejos que queda ahora
Esa niñez añorada
Quisiera mama me mande
Que en un cuerito siesteara
Parece que fuera ahora
Cuando mi mama ordenaba
Que un mandadito le hiciera
A los rezongos rumbeaba
Si me encontraba a los changos
Que a las bolitas jugaban
La bolsa de los mandados
A un costadito quedaba
Ya sacaba mis teritas
Y si por ahí yo ganaba
Como nidito I boyero
Mi bolsillito quedaba
Ay, ayitay si la plata
Por jugar se me extraviaba
Antes de llegar a casa
El llanterío largaba
