Bajo un sol de madera se yergue el día
Ciñendo la cintura del Paraná
Por dentro del verano, mañana arriba
Van los hombres del río sobre el caudal
Un rumor palpitante de hombre y semilla
Hunde en la verde entraña del litoral
El río suelta barca y en las orillas
Madura una incesante labor frutal
Andar, andar, andar
Sueño y sol, sangre y sol
Parten los hombres del río, sudor y jornal
Andar, andar, andar
Sangre y sol, sueño y sol
Con la bandera del grito, sudor y jornal
Andar, andar, andar
Con los hombres del río vuelve la tarde
Húmeda del arama del naranjal
La luna arde a lo lejos sobre las barcas
Un delta de guitarra regresa al mar
Un crepúsculo antiguo suelta la noche
Entre la sombra verde del vegetal
Cuando rompe el silencio de la fatiga
Un grito navegante en la inmensidad
Andar, andar, andar
Sueño y sol, sangre y sol
Vuelven los hombres del río, sudor y jornal
Andar, andar, andar
Sangre y sol, sueño y sol
Sobre la espuma del grito, sudor y jornal
Andar, andar, andar
