Qué dolor siento en mi pecho
Cuando está de madrugá
El mayoral con su reto
No no’ deja descansar
A las cuatro e’ la mañana
Cuando el sol se va asoma’
El mayoral con su reto
No no’ deja descansar
¡Ay! Mayoral, ¡ay! Mayoral
¡Ay! Mayoral, ¡ay! Mayoral
Saca tu machete cipriano (saca tu machete)
Afila tu lampa josé (afila tu lampa)
