Ya se inició la toma,
compañero calla la boca,
cuidado con los pacos,
que pueden dejar la escoba.
Sujeta bien al chiquillo,
dile a Jaime que se apure
no toque el cuarentaicinco
ojalá que nos resulte.
A mi compairito Julio
no lo veo por ni un lao,
ojalá que haya alcanzao
a pescar todo' los bultos.
Soldados de la mañana
dicen que dieron el tajo
mejor no caiga en mis manos
el traidor, el desgraciado.
...Apúrate Juan... ahí vamos...
no soltés los bultos nunca...
seguí a la Berta, ya falta poco...
cuidao' con esas ollas niña...
¿está durmiendo la Herminda?...
Porqué el destino nos da
la vida como castigo
pero nadie me acobarda
si el futuro esta conmigo.
...Apúrele... te imaginas... una casa...
cállate, corre... al fin, al fin...
¿qué fue eso?... ya llegamos...
¿y la Herminda?... duerme...
