Un mediodía que estuve pensando (bis)
En la mujer que me hacía soñar
Las aguas claras del Río Tocaimo
Me dieron fuerzas para cantar
Llegó de pronto a mi pensamiento
Esa bella melodía.
Y como nada tenía
La aproveché en el momento (bis)
Este paseo es de Leandro Díaz (bis)
Pero parece de Emilianito
Tiene los versos muy chiquiticos
Y bajiticos de melodía
Tiene una nota muy recogida
Que no parece hecho mío.
Y era que estaba en el río
Pensando en Matilde Lina (bis)
Este sentimiento se hizo más grande (bis)
Que palpitaba mi corazón
El bello canto de los turpiales
Me acompañaba esta canción
Canción del alma, canción querida
Que para mí fue sublime.
Al recordarte Matilde
Sentí temor por mi vida (bis)
Si ven que un hombre llega a la Jagua (bis)
Coge camino y se va pa´el Plan
Está pendiente que en la Sabana
Vive una hembra muy popular
Es elegante todos la admiran
Y en su tierra fama.
Cuando Matilde camina
Hasta sonríe la Sabana (bis)
