Me contaron los abuelos que hace tiempo
navegaba en el cesar una piragua
que partía del panco al viejo puerto
a las playas de moda en chimichahua.
Capoteando el ventaval se estremecía
el pacible desafiaba la tormenta
y un ejercito de estrellas la seguía
tachonándola de luz y de leyenda.
La piragua
la piragua
la piragua
la piragua .
Doce bodas con la piel color macagua
entre ellos el terrible Pedro Argundia
que a los golpes el remo le arrancaba
un melódico crujir de hermosa cumbia.
La piragua
la piragua
la piragua
la piragua .
Doce sombras ahora viejas ya no reman
no se escuchan maderares en el agua
solo rondan los recuerdos en la arena
donde ya se había olvidado la piragua.
Era la piragua del Guillermo ...
era la piragua, era la piragua
