Paisano santafecino
Nacido en los pajonales
Donde beben los sausales
La luz del carcaraña.
Creci como crece el peje
A orillas de esta ribera
Santafecino de veras
Del rio carcaraña.
Me llaman el cabure
A veces el guarani
Por que soy de santa fe
Que es el lugar donde naci.
La polka y el chamame
Se han compuesto para mi
Donde suena la acordeona
Ahi me salgo a relucir.
Me mojan los aguaceros
Me cortan las pajas bravas
Me queman las sudestadas
Del rio carcaraña.
Mi vida son estos pagos
Que defienden los chajaces
Que oscurecen los biguaces
Y aroma el jacaranda.
Aqui siempre vivire
La guitarra me dira
Mi recuerdo en la acordeona
Para siempre quedara.
La muerte me ha de llevar
Cantando este chamame
Si muero sera cantando
Mi amor por mi santa fe.
Por que soy de santa fe
Que es el lugar donde naci.
