La sirena se embarcó
En un buque de madera
La sirena se embarcó
En un buque de madera
Como viento le faltó
Ay lara laaa
Como viento le faltó
No pudo salir a tierra
A medio mar se quedó
Cantando la Petenera
Ya estando yo recostado
En lo fresco de la arena
Ya estando yo recostado
En lo fresco de la arena
Yo oí la voz de un pescado
Ay lara laaa
Yo oí la voz de un pescado
Que le dijo a una sirena
Que trabajos he pasado
Para amar a esa morena
Un pescador en la barra
No pudo dar con bola
Un pescador en la barra
No pudo dar con bola
Por pescar a una mojarra
Ay lara laaa
