Descansa mi patria
Nadie hollará tu confín
Porque velan noche y día
Los gauchos de don martín
En la frontera de salta
No hay ejército, señor
Los guerrilleros se bastan
Pa' pararlo al invasor
Changos, mujeres y viejas
De todos la guerra es
Si el godo matase a uno
De tierra aparecen diez
Los godos vienen bajando
De humahuaca hasta jujuy
Dejen que vengan paisanos
Que güemes espera aquí
Salteña color canela
En pelo el tarco azul
Parece una escarapela
Cuando güemes va a la guerra
Su hermana lleva un arcón
Para su espada, sus balas
Y sus cosas de varón
En salta nació la patria
En jujuy comienza a andar
Montada y con guardamontes
Ninguno la ha de voltear
Campanas de alarma
Anuncian revolución
Quién pondrá grillos al alma
De un pueblo en insurrección
La frontera ya está en llamas
Y desde el alto perú
Corre sangre americana
Hacia las pampas del sur
Los bailes que mí me gustan
No los bailo en la ciudad
Los bailo mientras me duran
Las salas para tirar
En tilcara y pumamarca
Y también en maimará
Escrito está con mi marca
Ningún godo pasará
