La pobrecita
Le llaman la pobrecita
Porque esta zamba nacio en los ranchos
Con una guitarra mal encordada
Le cantan siempre los tucumanos.
Alla en las cañaverales
Cuando la noche viene llegando
Por entre los surcos se ven de lejos
Los tucu tucu de los cigarros.
Solcito del camino
Lunita de mis pagos
En la pobrecita zamba del surco
Cantan sus penas los tucumanos.
Mi zamba no tiene dicha
Solo pesares tiene el paisano
Con las hilachitas de una esperanza
Forman sus sueños los tucumanos.
Conozco la triste pena
De las ausencias y del mal pago
En mis noches largas prenden su fuego
Los tucu tucu del desengaño.
Solcito del camino
Lunita de mis pagos
En la pobrecita zamba del surco
Lalalalala ay! Ay! ...
Cantan sus penas los tucumanos.
