De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayari.
El cariiao a,ue te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar.
Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el 'jibe'
A Chan Chan le daba pena.
Limpia el camino de paja
Que yo me qriero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar.
De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayari.
