Zambita para que canten
Los humildes de mi pago
Si hay que esperar la esperanza
Mas vale esperar cantando.
Nacida de los boliches
Donde el grito alza su llama
Su cancion de larga luna
Sabe la siembra y el agua
Como un canto de la tierra
Hay que cantar esta zamba
Hermana de los humildes
Sembradora de esperanzas
Alzada raiz de sangre
Del fondo de la guitarra
Mi pueblo la canta siempre
Como si fuera una ausencia
La cara hundida en el pecho
Hasta mirarse la pena
Un corazon de camino
Desde su canto regresa
A despertar el destino
Que el pueblo en su pecho lleva
Como un canto de la tierra
Hay que cantar esta zamba
Hermana de los humildes
Sembradora de esperanzas
Alzada raiz de sangre
Del fondo de la guitarra
