M'hijito: llegaste al mundo
en hora muy principal.
Ya redondeaste un año,
yo te vengo a saludar.
Que se sienten a la mesa
al lado de tu mamá;
al otro lado que brille
todita la rescoldá.
Como no tengo qué darte
y yo te quisiera dar,
yo quiero que los rayitos
del sol te han de despertar.
Y por la tarde el lucero
que te venga a saludar,
más atrás venga la luna
con toda su claridad.
Que te sirvan la mistela
y la torilla candeal
y pongan a tu ventana
la flor de la temporá.
En el centro de tu pecho
escribo por deletrear
que el día de tu cumpleaños
es cosa muy principal.
El día de tu cumpleaños
habría que embanderar
desde África a Magallanes
con banderas colorás.
¡Que viva tu nacimiento,
florecita de peral!
Con la voluntad del cielo
¡que vivas cien años más!
