Te juro que yo sin tí
Estoy acabao
Cómo estoy enamorao
Te alejas de mi (bis)
A pesar de que eres buena
Me dejas por pobre
Cómo soy un hombre noble
Yo sufro las penas (bis)
En el cañaguate
Está mi martirio (bis)
Negra por qué me olvidaste
Si yo no te olvido (bis)
No dejes que yo me muera
Diciendo tu nombre
Porque las cañaguateras
Matan a los hombres (bis)
Cómo sufro yo me quejo
Tu amor me condena
Cuando cruces la frontera
Y te marches lejos (bis)
Que pena tan grande
Perdí la razón (bis)
Porque allá en el cañaguate
Dejé el corazón (bis)
