Escuche, negrita martina
La copla chiquita que el rey va a dejar
Y ponga motita en la almohada
Que usté está cansada de tanto esperar
Su madre está en el arroyo
Lavando la ropa de amita leonor
Su padre ha vuelto cansado
No vendió un plumero, le trajo una flor
Martina, melchor ya lo sabe
"Tú no comes rosas; tú precisas pan"
Rey mago de los niños pobres
No te trajo harina, tan sólo canción
Abrace, negrita martina
La copla chiquita que el rey le dejó
Y ponga motita en la almohada
Que usté está cansada de tanto esperar
