Brilllante luna de abril
Canción de la magdalena
La brisa trajo hasta aquí
Rumores de cosas buenas
Tu fragancia de alhelí
Tu cuerpo en la primavera
Esas de ganas de vivir
Dejar tu rastro en la arena
No llores renunciación
Ya están por venir las fiestas
La santa cruz de monpox
Que luce tu cabellera
Te tengo en mi habitación
Adornada con estrellas
Mi mano en tu corazón
Y al son de las pilanderas
Lleva tu pareja
A la fiesta de la iguana
Luce tu pollera
Con la cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
Luce tu pollera
Yo quiero vivir aquí
En esta tierra sagrada
Volver a nacer aquí
En esta tierra olvidada
Estaba pensando en ti
Y no sabía donde estabas
Pa´ tus penas escribí
Esta cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
A la fiesta de la iguana
Luce tu pollera
Con la cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
Luce tu pollera
